Abstract: The paper examines the prospects and challenges to institutionalization of the elderly in Nigeria. While institutionalization is widely perceived as a reliable option for the care of the elderly in society, there is an observable scanty acceptance of this practice among families in Nigeria. The observed resistance to institutionalization in Nigeria emanates largely from cultural values and norms in the society. These norms largely view the contracting out of care of one’s elderly parents/relations as a taboo and reflective of a weak family solidarity. Apart from the cultural impediments, public policy lacuna and insensitivity about the care of the elderly by the government equally constrain institutionalization. Thus, social work and social workers are challenged to not only productively confront these cultural and structural impediments but also retune the profession to become culturally contextualized and responsive to norms and values of the Nigerian society.
