Old age is a universal and inevitable phenomenon in life. It assigns to a multidimensional procedure of mental, physical, psychological and social-economy changes. Low physical ability, the decline in mental capacity, gradual role-playing in socio-economic activities and change in status of economic dependence refer to a phase of elderly human life. The elderly are known as "dark" not because the illumination fails to shine, but because the elderly refuse to see it. There have been many changes in recent years that have impacted society in various fields social, financial and then elderly female lifestyle management have changed, some with better and some with negative consequences. In general, the population continues to benefit and most of the younger or newly generation has been able to realize their dreams, goals and develop their careers in a better way than before. However, older women face certain to different problems as a result of social change. The transition from conventional and additional modes of life to more contemporary patterns, which frequently call for compromise and acceptance, reflects this. One of these contains old age homes. Thus, most elderly women in old age homes are not very happy, because they are in isolation. Unfortunately, children are unable to arrive on time when parents fall ill or even die in old age homes. But some older women feel comfortable with the freedom and friendly atmosphere at old age homes with other elders who keep them company, enjoying time with TV, games and gossip. They show some detachment from family members and feel more secure in old age homes and avoid restricted lives with their children. In the present age, the life of elderly women is full of problems for both themselves and their children. Lucky people depart with satisfaction and peace of mind, while others leave an unhappy state of mind. Meanwhile, old age homes have become part of our social system.
