What problem would you like to solve?
I want to solve loneness and preventative care for seniors and adults with health challenges who may lack the knowledge or unable to take care of their wellness and a quality lifestyle.
Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?
There is a high number of independent people especially women, who have health issues with no one to check in on them. They distance themselves from society and have little to no friends/family. Low functional adults live in poor health conditions. The community will benefit in a humanitarian way of support and servicing those who cannot care for themselves. It can build inclusion, awareness and promote an environment that neighbors would be proud to be a part of.
What idea do you have to address the problem?
Partnering with building managers, homeowners to that will post available services for tenant's and family members on their bulletin board of tv monitors Ie. adult sitting services, grocery and pantry deliveries or locations, Spa's on the go, etc. Provide community room space for gatherings to donate gift baskets, conduct cooking recipes & storytelling. Provide a hotline for speaking with this population or becoming an Accountability Partner. Work with family members who are overwhelmed as their caretaker.
Who would that help?
Will help the senior and the disabled population.
What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?
City-wide
