Delhi Government To Open Rec Centre For Seniors
The Delhi government intends to open recreation centres for senior citizens. The government would pay the rent and expenses for other amenities at the centres, such as television, health screenings, and water dispenser machines, according to social welfare minister Raaj Kumar Anand.
A report by the Times Of India states that as soon as the SOP is ready, the RWAS will be able to submit applications for centres online. The recreation centre will make provisions for yoga and indoor games for the elderly’s health and well-being.
Many seniors have feelings of isolation and boredom in the changing social environment marked by an increase in nuclear families. These facilities strive to offer elderly folks a stimulating setting in which to socialise with friends and other people their age.

What Does Recreational Centre Consist Of?
Recreation is a leisure activity, with leisure time being unscheduled time. The “need to do something for recreation” is a fundamental aspect of human biology and psychology. Recreational activities are frequently performed for entertainment, pleasure, or enjoyment and are regarded as “fun”.
Besides, the place has health centres and fitness centres that will assist in maintaining their health. Also, they have several areas where senior citizens can enjoy playing certain games, listening to music or watching movies.
Earlier, in Nagpur, Golden Bliss Paradise at Sadar’s Prestige Nursing Home had emerged in the centre of the city as a one-of-a-kind short-stay home and an amusement centre. The goal is to create a place where the elderly can stay temporarily, socialise with other people their age, and engage in hobbies they like. Additionally, it was built with anti-skid floors, breakable doors with opaque glass, call bells outside beds and in bathrooms, railings, and ramps to make it more accessible for the elderly.
