Abstract

Approaches to care among the elderly population have focused on “diseases,” neglecting their social, mental and spiritual aspects of health and well-being. There is a need to bring compassion, respect, and competence in providing care to the elderly. This could be achieved by focusing on different dimensions of well-being and accentuating the core values of the gerontological care approach in India.
