Abstract

A nursing elderly home or hostel in an international or governmental nonprofit organization
that offers older adults short-term, low-cost courses, housing, and meals, usually on selected
good areas. The term elder hostel comes from Elderhostel, the original name of a non-profit organization
which has since changed its name to Road Scholar. Their primary responsibility is 24
hours a day to help the elderly maintain their quality of life by administering medications, developing
treatment plans, and monitoring vital sign.
Nevertheless, many of the Arab traditional social values are still present strongly in most the
family correlation, cohesion, solidarity which protects the parents during their late-life; there are
differences in the correlation in different countries ac-cording to their social and economic development.
As well as some differences between countryside and town within the same country,
where it is found that the family relationships are stronger in the countryside. The Holy Quran
wrote regarding the parents (If one or both of them reach old age with you, then do not say
words of irritation to them nor scold them but speak to them with respect).
