Elderly care refers to the support and assistance provided to older adults to help them maintain their quality of life and independence as they age. This can encompass a wide range of services and activities, including personal care, medical assistance, daily living support, companionship, and rehabilitation. Elderly care can be delivered in various settings, such as in-home care, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, or through community services. The goal of elderly care is to ensure the physical, emotional, and social well-being of older individuals, taking into account their unique needs, preferences, and health conditions.
