Isn't it traditional Indian culture for old people to become ascetics and indulge in spiritual pursuits? The Hindu texts talk about renunciation being most important in final ashram/stage of life as a Sannyasini. Wonder how is that goal achievable if old people are treated like a young child. Letting go of attachment amd material comforts is difficult, but it is the right thing to do according to Hindu Dharma.
