We searched on the internet for a home where we can do our CIP and found a list of elderly homes in Singapore. All of the group members come together and from the list we decided on Jamiyah Home For The Aged which is the most convenient elderly home as it is located near our house and there is a direct bus for us.
We are doing CIP in elderly home so that we will be able to understand them better and learn important life values so that we can use in future. We can have better interaction with them by understanding what are their hopes for the future and talking with them about their past experience. We can also share with them some of our own life experience that they can guide us along as they are more wise than us. From the environment they live in we can tell a lot about their feelings and their hopes. This may help us to get to know the elderly better.
There are some potential problems that we may face such as fixing the dates with the home. Previously when we called the home they said that we are only to visit the home once but we have to make a minimum of 2 visits to the same elderly home. Getting a the common dates for the group members can be a problem when we are available at different time slot so we need to work as a team to get the right time slot for everybody. Problems like interacting with the elderly may be a great problem as none of our group members know any dialects. We may need to use hand signs that they can understand to communicate with them and help us in interacting. Some elderly may have diffculty in walking and understanding us therefore we need to know and read on some simple health care guides to help us in this CIP.
We are looking forward to the visit =)
