Part 2/10:

Many elderly Singaporeans wish to stay in their familiar surroundings, maintaining routines and preserving the sense of independence that defines their lives. According to recent surveys, over 80% of seniors prefer to age in place rather than move into nursing homes or assisted facilities. While taking good care of oneself can help delay frailty, the inevitable physical decline makes adaptations necessary.

For example, Shirley, a senior who experienced a fall due to a minor spinal fracture, shared her concerns about the unpredictability of emergencies that could happen at any time. Her experience underscored the pressing need for reliable, immediate assistance systems. Her story highlights a common worry among seniors: the fear of not receiving help swiftly when it is most needed.
