percent of male elderly and 60.5 percent of female elderly. 57.9 percent of them married. It
was found that 29 percent of the elderly live with their children at the most. 84 percent of
their own houses were pointed housing problems are the deterioration of housing,
unfavorable lavatory, unorganized living space and the house stairs without handrails are
quite steep causing fall accidents. Moreover, problems encountered for common areas are
unable to access lavatory for elderly, outdoor walk way in community has drain cover that
are damaged or opened as well as slippery exercise area where may cause danger.
