The Maruthoorkadavu Residents’ Welfare Association in the capital, which has close to 400 houses as part of it, is planning a host of activities to address mental and physical health issues faced by senior citizens in the locality.
Steps to reduce isolation and maintain interaction with the larger society, fall-proof modifications inside houses, training in usage of digital equipment and social media are part of the initiatives.
At a meeting of the residents' association on Sunday, the participants were enthusiastic about the proposals, which would be implemented by the community members themselves, after forming smaller groups to coordinate the activities.
