Four key recommendations of the report
- Housing for the seniors
Singapore would be an elder-friendly place,with a range of housing options to meet the needs of the elderly
- Accessibility for the seniors
The built environment and transport system will be elder-friendly and allow seniors to lead active lives
- Caring for Seniors
Catering to elderly with different healthcare and eldercare needs
- Opportunities for Seniors
Allow elderly to lead active lifestyles, with healthy relationships and active involvement in the community
One way that the CAI report is recommending to make our public housing more elderly-friendly
- To provide housing with features which are elder-friendly. Such features include :
>lifts modified to stop on every floor
> non-slip floor tiles and a support hand bar in the toilet
> lever taps
> an alert alarm system
Two ways on how we can ensure that the quality of elderly care here in Singapore is affordable
- The Government could help seniors who can’t afford care by chipping in money for them
- We can have voluntary services to help take care of the elderly
The three things that I can do, as an SST student, to help overcome these elderly challenges
- I can observe the "daily routines" of the elderly to see what is the biggest barrier they are facing, hopefully to come up with a plan to help solve it
- I can do voluntary work to aid the financially burdened elderly
- I can communicate with the elderly and find out their views on the environment they are living in
