Summary
Elderly individuals experience a steep decline in mobility and physical health, making it difficult to perform basic tasks and maintain social connections. This leads to a profound sense of isolation and loss of independence, where they feel they are merely 'existing' rather than living. The problem is unsolved because current solutions are fragmented—mobility aids are not enough, and social programs often fail to address the emotional and practical needs of seniors who are physically unable to engage in activities they once enjoyed.
