^This a bit of a stereotype. The majority of people who place elderly relatives in a nursing do not “disown” them or simply do it because “I need my privacy.” This is usually done because the elderly relative in question requires extensive medical care, around the clock, which the family cannot provide and by medical care, I don’t simply mean keeping them comfortable but actual medical procedures that must be performed by a health practitioner. When I was at uni and doing my clinical practice (similar to what doctors called “residency”), I was an intern at a nursing home and the majority of the cases were what described. Also, the families did not “disown” their elderly relatives and continued to visit them frequently.

I didn’t say nursing homes, I said oldage homes. The concept of oldage home in Pakistan is not of that nursing homes but more of a ‘daar ul aman’, where people who don’t have relatives or relatives can’t accommodate them in their homes and lives are kept.
