Part 5/9:
Relocation poses significant challenges for the elderly, particularly those with deteriorating health or cognitive issues such as dementia. Some residents have faced difficulties in adjusting to new surroundings, and the loss of their long-term social networks has sometimes led to feelings of isolation and depression.
Health concerns are compounded by infrastructural issues in the old estate, like inadequate electrical capacity and water supply limitations. These factors further underscored the urgency for redevelopment, but they also amplified fears among residents about their ability to adapt physically and emotionally to a new environment.
