The traditional role of the extended family taking care of their aged is gradually being eroded with children leaving communities where they were born or raised to urban centers or abroad in search of education and economic activities. Interaction with elderly parents and relatives has been reduced to occasional visits, and with improved communication, to telephone calls. Many older people, isolated from family and friends, end up abandoning the activities they once enjoyed. Where the aged are fortunate to live with family caregivers, they are often left at home alone to fend for themselves when their caregivers go to work. Research indicates that this type of isolation can erode the physical, mental and emotional health of older people, gradually diminishing quality of life and ultimately affecting their ability to remain independent. Seniors and their caregivers therefore require opportunities for older persons to interact and increase their activity levels.
