Daytime centers for the elderly: club for the elderly
Pensioning and growing old can imply social isolation. Many elderly confront with the feeling of uselessness and loneliness after an active life. It is very important to involve the elderly in different activities to preserve their physical and psychical health, thus preventing their social isolation.
The programs of these clubs are varied, including different meetings and cultural events, services (e.g. medical service), as well as leisure activities, doing exercises, going on trips, pilgrimages, spiritual assistance.
