| Abstract: | Indian society since the advent of twenty-first century, is witnessing demographic transitions with its “graying population” as well as “feminization of ageing”. High prevalence of emerging nuclear families has affected elderly care structure to such an extent that old age homes have come up as alternative elderly care for the needy. As a result, the older people mainly elderly women, in lack of proper family care and attention, being felt as abandoned and neglected, are compelled to live with insecurities in such alternative living arrangements which further aggravate their life situations. Against these backdrops, the study aims to assess the various insecurities the elderly women in old age homes are confronting with. It further aims to understand various dimensions and extent of the elderly insecurities which debar them to live a life with dignity and pride. For the study, all the female inmates of four old age homes in and around Sambalpur city have been covered and data has been collected through interview schedules and focus group discussions. The study found that the elderly women in old age homes do have old age insecurities. They have showed both physical and emotional insecurities and the extent of insecurities whether severe, moderate or lower that varies from one old age cohort to the other. |
