Elderly with walking or movementdifficulties may also have posturalstability problems leading to falls.Our first design principle addressesthis basic need, by concerning withmovement from one location toanother and focusing on accidentreduction and prevention at 3 levels:
Home equipment should be convenient,simple to use, designed to minimizenonessential physical effort, and easilyunderstandable.
Designs must be suitable with physicalcondition and limitation, including the issuesof reachability and versatility of use such asopting for movable furniture to increaseflexibility of space.
The elders’ vitality can be boosted by favorablephysical environment, such as good lightingsystem, green space, and the installationof walking equipment, which allows for greatermobility and a sense of confidence as theyare capable of performing different activitiesby themselves.
Space design shall address real-life usageand functionality. Equipment installationmust facilitate users’ mobility, ergonomics,reachability, and ease of walking in orderto maximize independent living for theelderly residents.

“Ageis just anumber” SCG Eldercare Solution cares for all lifestyles,
especially elderly living. Presenting the concept of ‘Ageless Living’, emphasizing on designs where the elderly can live happily and independently among family members. Obstacles from physical deterioration are reduced by adhering to 5 design principles, which focus on safety and physical fit especially at the interior space where most activities take place.
People of all ages prefer to maintain their lifestyle, but physical declines have proven unstoppable. The day may come when simple activities of daily l iving can put elderly residents at risks.
Decline in physical function posesobstacles to the elderly; some may requireassistance in activities of daily living such astoileting, bathing, walking and transferring. Designing living spaces for elderlyresident requires great attention to detail:structure, home decoration, and placementand installation of equipment required tosupport 4 physically functional declines.
Appropriate homemodifications for elderly willcreate a livable, comfortable,and functional space, whichshould include concernsabout accident reductionand prevention, safety, andwell-being enhancement.HearingMovement
DoorUse soft-closed sliding doors withsimple lock requiring low physicaleffort. Doors must be top railed withoutdoorsill, which can cause trippingand result in fall. The door width shallalso accommodate users with walkingstick or wheelchair to prevent injuryor accident.
Intelligent Night LightHelps illuminate the path from thebed to the bathroom during nighttime.Lighting up automatically withextremely accurate motion sensorswhen elderly resident steps downfrom the bed, it will also slowly dimitself off once the person returns tobed. Caregivers can keep track of safety via mobile application whichallows you to access usage historythrough smart phones.
VOCs Absorption Wall CoveringHelp reduce unpleasant odor, protect againstvolatile hazardous substances causing healthproblems, and help to balance indoor humidity.It can be installed in different areas, such asbedroom and dining room.

Bed for ElderlySelect bed of suitable size that isheight adjustable and equipped withrails to help elderly residents get upby themselves. Mattress should becompatible with individual physicalcondition-neither too firm nor too soft.
