Abstract: The individuals, belonging to all communities, do not feel pleasurable and contented in some cases, living with their elderly family members. They consider them as liabilities. They hold the viewpoint that these individuals will interfere in their lives; hence, they send them to nursing homes. It is unfortunate that when family members do not get along, senior citizens often end up in nursing homes. Within these homes, various amenities and facilities are available, which enhance the overall living conditions for individuals. Individuals who are employed are required to be well-versed in their job duties and responsibilities. Furthermore, they are required to be well-equipped in terms of various methodologies and procedures, which facilitate success in their tasks and activities. The primary objective of all nursing homes is to promote the well-being of senior citizens. Individuals in old age are often overwhelmed by various health problems and illnesses; therefore, there are provisions for medical and healthcare facilities as well. Furthermore, they are experiencing the psychological issues of anger, stress, anxiety, frustration and depression. For this purpose, they are required to obtain counselling and guidance services. These facilitate the promotion of a typical mindset and effective coping with various types of psychological problems. Therefore, nursing homes are crucial in promoting the well-being and overall quality of life of senior citizens. The primary concepts examined in this research paper are the understanding of nursing homes, the factors that influence the living conditions of individuals in these facilities, and the experiences of senior citizens in nursing homes.
