the elderly may have mental problems, like short term memory, or cant do anything on their own, relying on other people, so they are sent to homes, but sometimes, the elderly dont feel happy at the homes (because the homes may not treat them that well).
the elderly also can be very depressed, because they are lonely (because their children are already adults, and they are too busy to visit).

- Prescription Drug Prices (they cost alot to someone only living off their retirement savings)
- Retirement living costs (live in a nursing home or assisted living facility or at home with their younger family)
- Stores and public buildings accommodating those that are elderly or disabled (parking spots, electric carts)
