Abstract: The individuals in old age move to old age homes due to different factors. In old age homes, there are provisions of infrastructure, amenities, and facilities that facilitate carrying out all types of tasks and activities in a well-ordered manner. The individuals employed are required to be well-equipped in terms of various job duties and responsibilities. Furthermore, they need to augment their information in terms of methodologies and approaches, which facilitate the generation of desired outcomes. The primary objective of all staff members living in nursing homes is to promote the well-being and goodwill of senior citizens. Senior citizens are often overwhelmed by various health problems and illnesses. In some cases, they are not ambulatory; hence, it is of utmost significance to provide medical and healthcare facilities. Medical practitioners and healthcare specialists are required to be well-versed in methods and approaches that facilitate effective job performance and generate desired outcomes. By performing job duties efficiently, individuals can contribute to the advancement of nursing homes. Therefore, nursing homes facilitate the promotion of well-being and goodwill among senior citizens. The main concepts considered in this research paper are estimating the supply of nursing homes, measures to be implemented for promoting the enrichment of nursing homes in India, and the causes that enable senior citizens to live in nursing homes.
