Adaptive ageing refers to the creation of an environment and conditions in a community, city or elsewhere that are suitable for older people to live in and live with. The practice of ageing has brought many conveniences, including the following:
1. Health and safety: Ageing communities and environments provide better safety and health protection, such as better medical facilities, safer housing, more convenient transportation, etc., to promote the health and safety of older people.
2. Socialization and participation: Ageing-friendly communities and environments can improve the socialization and participation of older people, such as providing more social activities, cultural events, volunteer opportunities, etc., helping older people to better integrate into the society, and reducing the sense of loneliness and isolation.
3. Convenient public **** services: Ageing communities and environments can provide more convenient public **** services, such as better public **** transportation, better facilities in public **** places, better accessibility, etc., which make it easier for older people to access services and enjoy life.
4. Long-term care: Age-friendly communities and environments can provide better long-term care services, such as better care facilities, better healthcare services, and so on, to help older people cope better with physical and health problems.
5. Extending the period of independent living: Ageing-appropriate communities and environments can help older people extend the period of independent living, reduce dependence on children and family, and improve their quality of life and sense of well-being.
In summary, ageing in place brings a lot of convenience to the lives of the elderly, improves their quality of life and sense of well-being, and also helps the society to better cope with the challenges of ageing.
