[0003] The aging population is growing rapidly, and with it, the demand for elderly care services is increasing. Many seniors wish to remain in the comfort of their homes while receiving the support they need for daily activities, such as cooking, grocery shopping, and general caregiving. However, finding reliable, qualified in-home care can be a significant challenge. This demographic often struggles with navigating multiple, fragmented services, resulting in unmet care needs and reduced quality of life.
[0004] Additionally, beyond just physical care, many elderly individuals face loneliness and isolation, as they may live far from family members or social networks. The desire for companionship and community becomes equally important, yet options for seniors to access both personalized in-home care and social environments are often limited. While there are assisted living facilities and nursing homes, many do not provide flexible, customizable solutions that address both the need for individual care and opportunities for social engagement.
[0005] At present, the market for elderly care services is largely divided into two categories: in-home caregiving and residential facilities. Each category tends to operate independently, offering limited integration for elderly individuals who may need both options over time or simultaneously. Moreover, there is a lack of comprehensive platforms that allow seniors and their families to efficiently find and manage these services, leaving a significant gap in the eldercare ecosystem.
[0006] The available systems are not economical, accurate and time efficient. Further, the available systems are not user-friendly as these systems take time to respond. Some of the systems are not effectively used for remote locations. Also, the available systems are provided with the wrong information, which may mislead the user.
