Elder Care refers to a range of services and support systems designed to address the physical, emotional, and social needs of elderly individuals, ensuring their well-being and quality of life as they age. This can encompass various forms of assistance, from in-home care provided by caregivers or family members to professional services like nursing and medical care in assisted living facilities or nursing homes. Elder care also includes help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation, as well as managing chronic conditions, medications, and providing companionship. The goal of elder care is to enhance the independence, comfort, and dignity of older adults while supporting their overall health and happiness.
