A potato chip is a thin slice of potato that has been deep fried or baked until crunchy. Potato chips are 
commonly   41   as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. Rumor has it that the potato chip was invented by a 
chef   42   George Crum.  In 1853, Crum, a half black,  half Native American cook, worked at a vacation 
resort in Saratoga Springs, New York. One day, a customer kept sending his French fries back,   43   that 
they  were  too  thick.  Crum  made  some  more,  but  the  customer  still  wasn’t   44 . Frustrated, Crum finally 
sliced a potato as thin as possible, fried them until crisp and seasoned them with extra salt. To his   45 , the 
picky customer was very happy and demanded more. Potato chips were therefore invented!

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.
