There are different types of needs that elderly people have. Emotional needs often include requiring
companionship. Many elderly people are very lonely, especially after the death of their partner. They enjoy company
and appreciate it when people take time to talk to them.
The financial needs of elderly people are met in a number of ways. Many elderly people receive the state
retirement pension, but many have other sources of income. Some have an work pension and others have taken out
insurance policies, which may provide them with a good income when they retire. Others have substantial savings.
Some elderly people rely on their children to give them financial help when they are old.
Elderly people make big demands on the National Health Service. They see their doctor more frequently than
other groups and are given many more prescriptions. They also take up a large number of hospital beds for acute and
chronic conditions. Acute conditions can be treated. Chronic conditions will never be cured, but efforts can be made to
make an older person more "comfortable." There is a growing number of older people in the population, so this has
implications for funding our health care services.
Elderly people have specific housing needs. Depending on the health and the mobility of an older person, these
can be met in a number of ways, such as adaptations to existing housing, purpose built retirement flats, sheltered
housing, and residential homes, which are a combination of hotel and hospital, where old people are given care and
attention twenty four hours a day.
Sheltered housing with small flats and a help station is thought to be the best housing option for older people.
The flats are designed to meet the needs of elderly people, with grab rails, alarms and an emergency contact system to
call the station. There is usually a communal area for entertainment. Sheltered housing allows the old person to retain
considerable independence but also means that help and company are never far away.
