                This article discusses the conditions of elderly home. It give personal experience of several individuals. They discuss that these communities are much better than they would be in Tibet. After they fled they came to India with nothing. Now that they live in the elderly homes the government provides them with a home, food, and cloths. Much of the Tibetan nomads health problems originate from lack of hygiene. They also suffer from high blood pressure and breathing issues.
