A BETTER HOME WITH BETTER FACILITIES FOR THE AGED • WHEN ROCHORE KONGSI WAS SET UP IN 1977-SOME 19 YEARS AGO-TO PROVIDE A DECENT SHELTER OVER THE OLD FOLKS’ HEADS, IT WAS CONSIDERED A BLESSING. THIS WAS BECAUSE ALL THE OLD FOLKS CONCERNED WERE DESTITUTES WHO SLEPT IN “BEDS” UNDER STAIRCASES, ALONG CORRIDORS, ETC., AND THEY WERE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. • HOWEVER, AS THE COMMUNITY MADE PROGRESS TO BETTER PHYSICAL SURROUNDINGS, THE MERE ABILITY TO SHELTER THEIR HEADS AND KEEPING THE ELEMENTS AWAY WAS NOT ADEQUATE. THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE THEREFORE, DECIDED IN 1991 TO UPGRADE THE KONGSI. • THE RENOVATION OF THE KONGSI PROVIDED A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO PLAN A MORE FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO CATER TO THE NEEDS OF THE ELDERLY. FOR EXAMPLE, A BRIGHTER, WELL-LIT HOME: HANDLES TO DOORS INSTEAD OF KNOBS:SUPPORT BARS IN THE BATH ROOMS, APPROPRIATE COLOUR SCHEMES, ETC. WERE INVALUABLE AIDS TO THOSE WHO FOUND DIFFICULITY IN MOVING ABOUT
