2)Accessibility for seniors
3)Caring for seniors
4)Opportunities for seniors
State one way that the CAI report is recommending to make our public housing more elderly-friendly:

State two ways on how we can ensure that the quality of elderly care here in Singapore is affordable
1)Top-up medisave accounts of less well-off Singaporeans when there are budget surpluses
2)Family physicians should play an important role in the management of healthcare needs for seniors
Three things we can do,as SST students,to help overcome these challenges

2)Help my grandparents with their household chores
3)Preparing on when I will become an elderly(if I live that long)
