Senior Citizen Center

Abstract

Aging is a natural and inevitable process. As people grow older, they often face physical weakness and emotional vulnerability. During this phase of life, they require love, care, and support more than ever. In today�s fast-paced world, where family structures are shifting towards nuclear setups and many children live abroad or remain occupied with their careers, the elderly are frequently left alone. This leads to feelings of isolation and neglect among the senior population. With advancements in healthcare, people are living longer, making it crucial to create spaces where the elderly can spend their later years with dignity, comfort, and joy. The Senior Citizen Centre is envisioned as a space where the elderly can lead a peaceful, engaging, and respectful life. To understand their needs, field visits to existing senior citizen homes, studies on the living conditions of the elderly, and reviews of research papers related to aging and elderly care have been carried out. These efforts help in designing a center that promotes emotional well-being, physical care, and meaningful daily engagement for senior citizens. This project aims to create an elderly-friendly environment that supports the aging population through thoughtful planning and inclusive design. Comfortable living spaces, areas for social interaction, healthcare services, and activity zones where they can learn, share stories, and relive memories are integral parts of this centre. Overall, the goal is to ensure that the elderly not only feel cared for but also valued and connected in the later stages of their life.
