Walker/Stroller for the Elderly - good experience

We came across this products while searching for video of advertisement for the elderly. It is a walker/stroller meant for the elderly. It has a compartment underneath the seat to store things like water, umbrella and etc. Please play the video to see the product and how it works.

Shelter with Railing - good experience



We have notice that there is many upgrading projects going on at most of the old HDB estates. The government made many improvement to ensure a more user friendly environment for the residents. For example the above shelter with railing walkway has just been built early this year. The railing is able to help the elderly to move from one block to another more easily. They can grip the railing and make their ways between the blocks

Senior Citizen Corner - bad experience

The senior citizen corner is the place where elderly can get together to chat and watch tv. They even have a sink at every senior citizen corner. However, the bad point of these place is that, there is no one to cook and look out for them there. It is just merely a place for gathering between the old folks. Recently, we have notice that there is fewer user of the senior citizen corner. Most elderly seems to prefer to sit either at the park or the coffeeshop. This could be due to the fact that they could not experience the good feeling of using these corner.

Reflexology Stone - good experience

Most elderly normally walk on these reflexology stone as a form of their daily exercise. You can find these type of reflexology stone at almost every housing estate in Singapore. Elderly can exercise themselves, through massage their foot bottom acupuncture point, exercises their whole body. This a way for them to keep fit as well as check their body healthy status(it is because the foot bottom acupuncture points are connected with the body organs.)
