On 22 Sep 2012, a resident saw a frail hand with a white bag, extended out of the window and in horror, watch the packet of waste landed on the surface road. Thankfully, it did not hit people or any vehicles, parked at the loading / unloading bay.
Our RC members got the call at 8.30am in the morning when the act happened. We quickly arranged a team to visit the unit and discovered as follows :
1) Most likely it was a very elderly lady, with mobility difficulty
2) Family is aware but cannot do much as even with precautions taken, it still happens
3) Elderly lady was left home alone for extended period of time, as family has to work or has to go school
We will find time to meet with the resident and see how best we can assist. Most important, in knowing that this elderly lady is home alone during working hours, our concern is more to find a team of people to visit them regularly.
If your home has elderly who is always alone at home as the rest of the family has to work or go to school, please do let the RC know. Allow us to look into it to start a group who are keen for this way of serving.
