Four key recommendations of the report
Housing for seniors
Singapore will try to meet the needs of the elderly with a range of housing options.
Accessibility for seniors
The built environment and transport system will be elder-friendly and allow the elderly to be active.
Caring for seniors
Healthcare and eldercare services ensure the seniors' dignity and their standard of living to be maintained.
Opportunities for seniors
The seniors will lead a healthy and active lifestyle with fulfilling relationships with everyone.
One way that the CAI report is recommending to make our public housing more elderly-friendly
Install grab bars in the bathroom and toilets with non-slip floor tiles.
Two ways on how we can ensure that the quality of elderly care here in Singapore is affordable
For those elderly who needs financial assistance, the government can have subsidies for them.
We can provide a complementary range and option of services for Singaporeans who need care so that we afford a reasonable level of care services.
After reading the CAI report, what are three things that you can do, as an SST student, to help overcome these elderly challenges?
I can observe the elderly living in the area, and find out some of the difficulties that they face, and come up with solutions to help them.
I can interview the elderly and ask them about their daily routine. From there, I can see how I can help to improve their lives.
I can help to raise funds for those elderly who needs financial assistance.
