Ms Karen Wee, executive director of Lions Befrienders, said agencies like hers are adapting to seniors’ growing preference for independence and freedom.
“Ageing in a network means those who are healthy and active will continue to form interest groups or find their own things to (do),” she pointed out.
“For those who are not so proactive, the active ageing centres like Lions Befrienders will curate (activities), send them on (buses) all self-run by the volunteer seniors themselves, and they have a good quality of life.”
