Legal Question in Family Law in India

Is it legal in India to admit a parent into an old age home against his wishes.

My father is 76 years old & stays alone in a flat that is on his name & my name.

I am working abroad 10 months in a year. And my aged father finds it very difficult to manage at home alone.

But at his age he is very stubborn & is against going to an old age home, so can I admit him forcibly against his wishes for his own safety as his legal heir ??

Dear Bro, may be your view is good but you cannot send him in old age without his wish.

you may hire a servant for him. So better to give him respect and love.
