Elderly Challenge - Observation 4











































I noticed that some of our seniors, despite their age, continue to do grocery shopping and they have a terrible time trying to carry the load, especially when they need to walk from place to place. This is very tiring and tough for our elderly. Some of them might hire maids to help them with the chore. How about those who do not hire maids (due to personal reasons or so)?


This incident reminded me of a short clip from Mr. Bean animated series (yeah I used to love watching Mr Bean HAHAHA).









From 0:59 to 1:05

I feel that we could make a trolley like that for our elderly to use when shopping. Each supermarket (or any other kind of markets) could allow our seniors to use these trolleys when shopping. It would also allow our elderly to have a better trip home.

  1. Yes, I realised this too. Whenever I see elderly who carry many bags of stuff, walking from place to place, I would pity them and I would have the urge to go up to them and help them to carry the stuff. By the way, I like the video!
