Morning, 8am-10am

As early as 7am, there are elderly who attend mass daily morning exercise classes held at the open spaces at the community clubs. This is part of their daily routine for those who are more active.



Supermarkets are crowded with elderly in the morning as well, specifically on Monday.

Late afternoon/evening, 4pm-6pm










Able to find elderly sitting and hanging around void decks and the public spaces such as parks and the benches located along the blocks of HDB flats. Elderly accompanying their grandchildren to the playground.

Some elderly are also seen going for walks as exercise but however facilities made for elderly like the exercise corner found in HDB estates, are hardly used.




Around this time, elderly can be seen heading home with their dinner. Either they headed out just to get food, coming home from work or coming home after going out for leisure purposes.
