In many Nigerian homes, caring for the elderly is seen as a family responsibility. Traditionally, grandparents lived with their children or extended family, surrounded by love and attention. But today, life has become busier. Work, relocation, and financial challenges mean that many elderly parents are left alone, struggling to care for themselves. Sadly, some even face neglect or loneliness in the very years when they need the most care.
Why Elderly Care Matters
The elderly are a treasure of wisdom and experience. They have built families, communities, and institutions. Yet, without proper care, their final years may be marked by isolation, poor health, or dependency. Elderly care is not only about medical attention—it is about restoring dignity, preserving independence, and ensuring emotional well-being.
At Rosehope Foundation, we believe growing old should never mean being forgotten. Every elderly person deserves to be respected, supported, and given the chance to live with joy.
Common Challenges Our Elders Face
- Loneliness: Many elderly parents live alone, with children abroad or in distant cities.
- Health Issues: Chronic illnesses, mobility difficulties, and memory loss require consistent monitoring.
- Stigma: Some are dismissed as “burdens” instead of being valued for their contributions.
- Financial Strain: Without pensions or steady income, they often struggle to afford care.
