Elderly care practice is supporting care for elder people both in private and public spheres

Abstract

Elderly care practice is supporting care for elder people both in private and public spheres. Previously, house was identified as private space for caring elder. Once its meaning was shifted from private to be social space, it was mechanism that allowed public affairs to managing elderly care in their own houses by supporting and protecting them to get services they deserved according to humanitarian principles. These public affairs encourage social institute to send community officers supporting elder people at their houses. This process expands meaning of “house” from private to public sphere. House is adjusted its meaning, even though, it is still private space for the Elderly. However, caring elder people in families also gets supporting from communities and social institutes. Both family and public care are linked harmoniously and cause private and public spheres harmonize together.
