Improvements For the life of the aged.

Improvements done in the neighborhood:



1) A direct bridge from the HDB flat can be connected to a bus stop, (possible but needs a lot of planning) using slanted angles of 25 degree, so that the elde
rly will not slip and fall because of the steepness and do not need to climb the stairs.












2) More escalator installed around overhead bridge/underpasses like ones in more central areas.












3) Lively hood of each neighborhood, example: "Celebrating 60's" (Events with dinners, prizes, etc.) for family bonding











4) Railings around flats, linked to other flats, for convenience to the elders.













5) Rough/Tiled floor, for easy maintaining for health, for cleanliness, and to prevent slipping and falling due to smooth floors.





Facilities build near my neighbourhood.

Here are some of the facilities build for the elderly near my neighborhood:

Fitness Corners ( For them to exercise and keep fit):










Shelters ( For them to talk, relax):










Barrier-free access ( For disabled people and more convenient for moving):




















RC/CC, free courses for elderly people to join.
