Although growing old is inevitable and a prospect that everybody faces, issues on ageing are often relegated to the back burner worldwide. Older people are therefore not provided with the necessary services and resources that would improve their life and wellbeing. Sadly, national policies in Ghana also tend to focus mostly on children and the youth with issues concerning the welfare of the aged featuring minimally in national debate. This unfortunately results in the later years of one’s life being reduced to a dim and unattractive prospect, not looked forward to with great anticipation but rather considered as a period of loneliness and social isolation that must be endured rather than enjoyed.
