Abstract

Old-age homes are structured living arrangements designed to satisfy the needs of senior citizens and their use has increased due to the global demographic shift towards aging populations. These facilities provide necessary care but differ greatly in their ability to provide a high standard of living. This study highlights the elements that influence residents' well-being by critically analyzing the interactions between social integration, emotional fortitude and physical care in assisted living facilities. The study evaluates differences in facilities' infrastructure, individualized care, social interaction and psychological health using a comparative perspective. It also examines how family engagement and institutional policies influence residents' experiences. The results highlight the need for more comprehensive and flexible support systems and expose differences in the quality of care. To promote a more respectable and fulfilling aging experience, this research promotes policy reforms that close the gap between institutional care and community-based approaches. The study adds to the current conversation on aging and long-term care by including lessons from various care models and highlighting the necessity of reforms that put both individual agencies and the group's welfare first.
