    “The day cares are a good source of recreation for the elderly people of our society who either are abandoned by their children or want to spend some good time at these centers,” Akhoon Ashraf said, adding they are using library, read newspapers, sip tea together and take part in other recreational facilities.

    “Anybody who needs shelter in these homes must contact concerned district social welfare officer. They will be admitted in these old age homes immediately,” he said.
