| Popis: | Taiwan has now officially become “an ageing society.” Due to declining physical ability and health, seniors gradually become isolated from society both emotionally and physically. The recent decades have seen a rise in intergenerational (IG) programs which attempt to use the natural vigor of youth to brighten up and rejuvenate the spirit of the elderly population, and stimulate them to pass on their precious wisdom to the younger generation during their remaining twilight years, and thus effectively improve the general public's image of nursing homes. This current paper brings forth two sample cases, exploring the strategic focuses of IG programs and their actual benefits, in the hope of inspiring the public sector to actively rearrange resources of the public and private sectors, work out a long-term plan and allocate sufficient funding to provide senior citizens with the basic human needs, dignity and self-esteem they deserve. A high quality of both leisure life and care for the elderly generation will eventually become a hallmark of Taiwan. |
