Hope for the Elderly


The fast changing communities have come up with programs that help the less privileged in the society. They are extremely sensitive about the welfare of the community and how to upgrade it .These people who need urgent help and they showcase their value to the community in various ways that are identifiable.




Before such projects are carried out in a community, there has to be a serious feasibility study which then may be recommended through the agreement of their leaders depending on the community. Most of the projects are initiated by non-governmental organizations, charitable organizations and the government.


Most of the people who live in these  active adult retirement communities are ones who have retired. With this, it does not mean that only retired people live in these communities. This is not true although there are some which only people above the age of 55 can live there. These communities have specific objectives that range from adult education to retirement programs.


Project managers are faced with problems like hostility from persons being targeted, negative customs and traditions or even disagreements on utilization of resources on the ground. These challenges need to be addressed for the project to succeed.


The introduction of community based projects can be a blessing or a curse and especially where money is involved. This has attracted devious people out to exploit the needs of others at the expense of the greater good. Proposals therefore for such projects have been met with skepticism due to corruption. This in turn reduces the number of good projects that are undertaken because most of the time is wasted trying vet projects.


These communities are known to upgrade the life and health of individuals. This is because in the communities, proper hygiene and cleanliness is maintained.  They offer a very exciting and luxurious lifestyle to the residents. All in all, the government is able to offer the citizens a better life.


There are many advantages associated with these projects in that it creates job opportunities. The constructions of these communities take quite some time before they are completed. It is at this point where it helps to upgrade the lives of the people building the communities. Some get the opportunity to run the project itself.


We have heard about and seen the jobs done by retirees from such groups and done a remarkable work in big projects and businesses set up by them. Some community projects have become conglomerates because of the good job people have done with the retirement projects being recognized widely.


This kind of project can be the communities’ center of pride. This is because they enhance the social responsibility in a great way. Without the corrupt middlemen who want to pocket a few cents, then the scheme would be a life changing project for the society and individuals.


If many would come out to help the project developers start, fund, labor and assist the less fortunate in having a better future, it would really have made a great difference in theirs and our life. You can be a part of this if you dedicate your time resources and many. Let us do it today for others because life is like a drum, we all need each other.
