Looking after your elderly parents

Nihal

Available for over a year

TV property expert Sarah Beeney has been talking about 'Asian Values' that include looking after the elderly and how other communities can learn from the example Asians have set. She talks about a cultural problem in this country - where children and the elderly aren't celebrated. She says 'inter-generational living' that is the norm in Asian families is the answer. Does the stereotype of Asians looking after their elders still exist or have things changed? An emotional caller shares his heartbreaking story.
