Elderly community residents :

An all-in-one station that provides living, transportation, education, medication, and entertainment needs Due to the lack of nursing knowledge of the carer of the patient's family members, Taiwan Ageless Construction Development Association will be presented in the exhibition for the first time. The concept is based on an all in-one function. From hardware including sanitary ware, safety handrail, emergency button, floor, lighting and furniture, to software including mental therapy, healthy diet and community service, to ingenuity features like smart safety monitoring system and dementia caring cafe. All of these are included in a sustainable all-in-one resident that supplies daily needs and medical treatments. The residents will no longer need to change their living habits due to change in their neighborhoods and environments. Instead, the residents can benefit from the facilities and services directly from the community. We will also provide house renovation consulting service to create barrier-free living space. We hope the public will find what they need for living, transport, society, education, medical service, entertainment and everything else close to their lives.
