Our Proposal For Improvement

As a way to improve the elderly situation in Singapore, we would like to propose the setting up of a restaurant at all the community centres available in Singapore.

These restaurants will provide nutritious and healthy food for the elderly. They will be able to come out with a suitable diet according to the body condition of the elderly. Different food menu will be prepared daily and the elderly can just make a phone call to inform the staff if they would like to dine- in. This will be beneficial for the elderly especially for those elderly whose daughters and sons are busy working in the daytime. They no longer need to worry about what to cook. Furthermore, these concept will also provide the opportunity for the elderly to interact with the others and be socially active. It beats sitting at the senior citizen corner whereby there will not be ready-made available food.

Besides providing food for the elderly, we will also provide free medical check-up. These will be carried out by volunteers from the medical field. They will go to every restaurant monthly to do thorough body check-up for the people who need it. This service will make the routine body check-up more convenient to the elderly. They no longer need to travel far to have their check-up.

We strongly believe that our proposal is feasible and manageable given sufficient resources and support from the relevant organisations as well as the government since we have always been seeking for solutions to improve the situation of the elderly.
