Elderly is a fragile age, where they are both physically and psychologically weak, so they need proper physical, social and psychological care during this period. Ageing is considered a problem, if the old peoples are taken as burden by the family members and society. In Nepal the older population is increasing both in terms of absolute numbers as well as proportion of the total population which is estimated to be double by 2017. They are regarded to be vulnerable as they suffer from the cumulative effects of a lifetime of deprivation, poor health and nutrition, low social status, discrimination and restriction on mobility, lack of means to fulfill their basic needs such as food, clothes, shelter, health care, love and affection.
