People build connections with others to establish their position in society. Especially when people age, knowing that they have a stable support system makes people feel secure. Compared to other seniors, solitary elders are especially prone to loneliness and depression as they lack family support systems.
After conducting several interviews with related stakeholders to learn about their experiences or thoughts about implementing successful aging in their businesses or organizations.
“Successful aging occurs when older adults stay active and maintain social connections. It takes the view that the aging process is delayed and the quality of life is enhanced when old people remain socially active.”
Robert James Havighurst, The activity theory, 1963
But how might we create a better environment for seniors to participate in social activities and overcome the feeling of emptiness?
We came up with a proposal that can integrate social participation into their daily lives.
Traditional markets are a popular place to shop, other than bags or baskets, trollies are a common choice for people to carry their bought goods, therefore this might be a place to start with.
Light-weight, Flexible Trollies for Rent
Adjustable height with shoulder straps, stationed at market vendors, local customers can borrow these trollies during their shopping routine, and join in a social event to participate in their communities’ charity events.
