Germany - cohabitation, mutual care!
Germany has long been into the old age society, if you go to the German countryside, those quiet villages, see mostly elderly people. But the Germans have long since lost the concept of raising children for old age, and no elderly person is dependent on their children's funds to maintain life.
Nowadays, there is a new model of old age in Germany, where some old people voluntarily combine together to live a "cohabitation" in their old age.
Although we live in the "same room", but usually they do their own meals, only weekends in the public **** kitchen to get together once a meal, there are collective activities are **** with the participation - either to the nearby city tour, or to the theater! Listening to the theater. If someone is sick during the week, the cohabitating friends will also take the initiative to take care of him/her or help with shopping, etc.
This is the first time that a cohabitating friend has taken the initiative to take care of someone who is sick.
France - keep the diet, maintenance of the slow life!
The French elderly in addition to ensure that there is sufficient sleep, the day to spend a few hours to savor the food and sip coffee, they used in the "food" "drink" time, than the United States and Canada and other countries of the same age More than twice as long as their counterparts in the United States and Canada. French seniors believe that comfortably spend their money in their favorite restaurants and cafes, the most affordable, on the American "junk food" does not care.
French women on the importance of beauty, but also continued into old age. A woman once told a reporter: "My grandmother is 76 years old, but she has never been meticulous about the maintenance of their skin and hair. She also told me that a woman's skin is very delicate and that she should use the skincare products that suit her best." While it's common for well-off French women to use Botox to prevent wrinkles, grandmothers who don't earn very much money prevent aging too quickly by buying skincare products and avoiding exposure to the sun.
On the streets of Paris, some older women go so far as to waltz around to the music of their hearts, making for a beautiful sight.
Mention of France, always accompanied by romantic, elegant these words, unlike this, many people have been accustomed to a fast-paced lifestyle, do things like a clean cut, a lifetime of thrift. But we might as well try to sip a cup of coffee and apply a mask. Let yourself from the day to day, perhaps you will like this self oh

The British elderly like to be alone, the children of adults are away from home to stand on their own, not only separated from their parents, and in order to seek employment, often relocated to a different place. The elderly, no children and grandchildren around the knees, there is a partner can also take care of each other, widowed widows and widowers, all have to take care of their own.
Although the elderly lack of "heavenly pleasures", but the retired elderly rarely occur "retirement syndrome". They either grow flowers at home, or travel around, and always take their pets (dogs) for a walk in the morning and evening, and live a "wild", solitary life.
There are also the British elderly, many of whom are innovative.

For example, in order to improve the life of the elderly, the Spanish Government has made every effort to reduce the sense of loneliness among the elderly by, for instance, setting up a "kindergarten for the elderly" to help them spend their twilight years in peace. Is this "kindergarten for the elderly" particularly surprising?

Most of the people who enter the homes are those who have mobility problems and cannot take care of themselves.
