Active Ageing
The concept of quality of life is expressed about aging through active aging which is depending on social and economic
factors, personal and behaviour factors, health and social services, environment gender and culture. The programmes
for promoting active aging have to encourage healthy life styles, including nutrition policies, active life and avoidance
of chronic illnesses. Between 1050 to 2025, the old (those who are above 80 years and above) will grow twice. In this
condition, we are confronted with two major issues Providing older people with opportunities for independence,
health and productivity.
A palliative care approach
Since physical deterioration and decline, such as immobility and bedsores do create a loss of dignity for dying aging.
We tried to work with this persons using a person centred approach where personal choices and decisions are
always respected to ensure diginity.
To retain the dying persons in his/her familiar surroundings till death. We will inform their freinds, relatives and the local panjayath.
The dying persons is entitled to good pain control and nursing care. Regarding the good pain control and nursing care, the care givers made every effort to help the patients with this.
