Social Welfare Minister Dipu Moni announced on Friday plans to establish daycare centers for elderly people on a pilot basis.
"Elderly parents will no longer need to go to nursing homes. We will pioneer daycare centers for them," stated the Social Welfare Minister while addressing reporters in Chandpur.
"Parents often live alone in their old age. They may be prone to accidents, and their family members face pressure in the workplace when leaving them alone at home. Therefore, the government will take the initiative to establish day care centers equipped with entertainment, gaming, and treatment facilities," she further elaborated.
