Southville International School & Colleges, College of Nursing recognizes the gradual emergence of a “silver tsunami.” As populations age and families grow smaller, nurses have become the cornerstone of compassionate and competent care for older adults. Beyond managing chronic illness and complex medication regimens, nurses uphold dignity, independence, and quality of life, serving as advocates, educators, and trusted companions to the elderly and their families. A visit to the Father Saturnino Lopez Home in Tagaytay, run by the Little Sisters of the Abandoned Elderly, offered a reflective and eye-opening reminder that holistic care embraces not only physical needs but also the emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of aging. The value of nurses in elder care extends far beyond bedside tasks—they are essential partners in building sustainable, person-centered systems that honor longevity as a triumph, not a burden.
