¶ … person's life, the common goal is to be successful at whatever it is that one does in his or her professional life, have a family, ensure the success of said family, and retire to the "golden years." No one ever considers the idea that perhaps maybe those golden years aren't so glamorous and bright after all. Most don't consider the complications that come from achieving such an age, and all the stressors, expectations of family roles and responsibilities that come along with it. Older adulthood isn't always what we consistently dream of, there are a lot of health complications that arise, and the quality of life may not be as good as it once was; however, it has been noted that with the presence of love and support from family and friends, the livelihood of these adults could be considerably better.

As mentioned, it is widely noted and understood that many older and elderly adults progressing through this stage of life have declining health, and as a result, they have several health related problems such as heart disease, loss of vision, and decreased (and at times, depleted) mobility occur. Many of the adults included in this community and/or study thus become heavily dependent on those who are closest to them to offer them the help and support they need. Often times, their children have to step in and assume the role of a caretaker due to the unfortunate circumstances that these individuals are unable to care…
