Chapter 3 Mindmap
The first one, we are planning to use own housing like HDB flat/Landed Property for our collective living spaces. We try to recognise all the problems associated with elderly when they live in collective living spaces. From there, we will come up with solutions to tackle them. The first problem for the elderly staying in collective living spaces in the form of HDB flat/Landed Property is falling down. Hence, we will install anti-slip floor tiles, water-absorbing floor tiles, bar handle, and put light sensor around the house especially bathroom. The second problem will be that no one to inform if there is emergency happening. The solution we come up with is emergency wrist band. The third problem is household chores. The solution will be by getting the help from volunteers, installing elder-friendly household items such as electric stove and so on. The fourth problem will be that there is no privacy for each elderly. So, the solution is by allocate one room for one elderly.
The second one, we are planning to improve on the already existing nursing home/old folks' home. We realise that elderly staying there will have a problem of not having privacy. Thus, we come up with solution of grouping them according to their similar personalities, hobbies and health conditions. Another problem we notice is loneliness. Hence, we plan to conduct programmes that will involve their family members' participation in the activities. This will make the elderly happy.
