The present paper reviews geriatric care in Haryana state. Indian law and society recognize the special needs of senior citizens. The most important aid to senior citizens is the Social security program. People in the India who are more than sixty years of age are commonly referred to as senior citizens or seniors. These terms refer to people whose stage in life is generally called old age, though there is no precise way to identify the final stage of a normal life span. People are said to be senior citizens when they reach the age of sixty or sixty-five because those are the ages at which most people retire from the workforce.
