The City of Taguig opened a building where there’s a Center for the Elderly people. This will be a place of relaxation and enjoyment for the senior citizens. They should have time to relax and this place is perfect for them. It’s a five-story building and the aim of constructing it is to give a chance to the elderly people time-out from their chores. After all, nowadays, the responsibility of seniors doesn’t end after retirement. They become their grandchildren’s nannies. They feed, bathe, and even bring them to school.
The center has a massage room, gym, therapy pool, sauna, multi-purpose halls, and cinemas. This opened on the first of April and the first-ever of its kind in the Philippines. This is proudly created by the City of Taguig.
It aims to give the senior citizens enjoyment and a time to mingle and become friends with their fellow senior citizens. The therapy pool is located on the first floor. They can also do some exercises on the area to prevent or minimize pains on their joints brought about by old age.
There are two sauna rooms on the second floor and a massage room. They can also exercise and do some yoga on the wide space. A waiting lounge is located on the same floor where they can read some books or know the latest news by reading newspapers. The 3rd and 4th floors serve as multi-purpose halls which can also be used for some events of the city. The seniors can also play board games or use the area to do their hobbies like painting and crocheting.
For seniors on wheelchairs, there are ramps on the building so they won’t have a hard time moving around. An elevator is also available for seniors who can hardly move. There’s a clinic and medical personnel who can provide medical assistance when the need arises.
All these amenities can be enjoyed for free by the elderly people and aside from those perks, they can also be picked up and dropped by for free by bus. The building is located on Ipil-Ipil Street, North Signal Village. The City Mayor said that it’s their way of giving back to the seniors who deserve gratitude and respect. {source}
