Elderly questions

Rank1.How do we help elderly to connect with the world?
Now the world is all about technology and the old people are stranded because they don't know anything about using a handphone to using a laptop. So now the elderly can communicate with the youngsters easily. We can help them by using our free time to help the elderly by teaching them the basics of the use of technology before moving to the more advance parts.

Rank2.How can we provide fund for the elderly?
As the elderly becomes older, it means they are getting weaker which means they can't work anymore. After they retire, they will start using their retirement fund and soon they will have no money and will have to borrow money from their friends and relatives.
We can help them by raising fund for them by charity fund raising.

Rank3.How can we help the elderly?
There are many things that the elderly are suffering from, final burden, health problem and boredom.
We can help them ease their financial burden by providing fund for them via charity etc. We can help them not to get sick by bring them to the hospital for checkups. And we can clear their boredom by spending time with them.

Holiday homework part 1

Housing. A place where it is elderly friendly. Elderly will be able to live as part of the community.
Accessibility. The building will have accessible lifts and walkways, they will also have transport right at their doorstep.
Caring. We need to ensure that the elderly health is in good condition by doing checkups regularly.
Opportunities. The elderly will be given opportunities to participate in activities. Their relationship with their family will increase.


The house could be in a specific size to suit the elderly's needs.

The government could help subsidize some of the medical bills for families who have a low monthly income. Another way would be to learn the skills to treat the elderly so that we do not need to go to the clinic or hospital whenever something happens.

We could go to these houses/centres and have a nice chat with them to build up friendly relationships with them.
We could help them organize activities for the elderly.
We can contribute our knowledge and try to help the government come out with a solution to help these elderly with their funding.

elderly challenge- observation three

The elderly have weak bones and most of their problems are due to that. Some elderly around my neighbourhood that I have seen have to carry bags of groceries from the market and have to walk through the park with all their heavy goods in their hands. This tires them down and will also affect their knee bone from walking such long distances and carrying so many things, and this is their daily routine.

elderly challenge- observation two

They become angrier and more unfair to everyone else because they believe that they can take care of themselves and will become cranky when helped by people. Another reason is because they believe that they are going to die soon and wants to live life to the fullest but people keep stopping them from eating unhealthy stuff so they are cranky.
We should let them eat their stuff but only stop them if they eat too much of it.

Elderly challenge- observation four

Most of the elderly believe that since they are going to die soon, they won't care for their safety and starts to jaywalk. Their recklessness may cause their life and those around them. We should stop them before they do this reckless stuff and waste their life away.

Elderly challenge- observation one

I have noticed that old people often get stuck in the middle of the traffic as they walk too slowly. they cannot get to the other side of the road because the traffic lights are too fast. Because their muscles have weaken over the years so they move slowly and get very hurt when they fall over get minor injures.
