Jog their memory
Fun task instead of strenuous one
Connectivity to world around them
The elderly generally suffer from different mental and physical
constraints due to their old age, which are needed to be checked
upon, while designing.
Generally, their social life tends to become static due to stated
reasons:
- Nuclear family
- Dispersed working group
- Unwillingness to join new groups
- Lack of hobbies
They being the senior most member in the society and family,
need extra care and attention due to their growing age.
