Abstract
Contrary to westerners’ recognition towards senior residences, Asians have a deep-rooted concept of “Bring up children for the purpose of being looked after in old age”. In Asian society, it is considered a blessing for elderly to live with their family among many generations. Thus, living in a senior residence is considered an indignity, in which the elderly are perceived to have been abandoned by their children. Society in Taiwan does not have a positive attitude toward senior residences. In fact, an effective health and wellness organization that senior residences can provide will help improve the “twilight years” of the elderly, and at the same time, reduce the proportion of the “disability population” of the entire society.
