Annotation

A person's life is an interesting story, in which various stages are inscribed, each of which has its own charm and challenges. The chapter of "old age", a period of wisdom, (not?) calm and time for oneself, is no exception. What environment is suitable for the life of seniors - does every older person really long for peace and departure from the city to the countryside, or can urban bustle and diversity be a source of vitality for some seniors. How can/should/shouldn't seniors live, and is it necessary for them to leave their familiar environment, neighborhood, city and community that they have known their whole life when they reach old age. The aim of the work was to design an environment that will allow seniors to continue their active lives with only small adjustments - instead of radical changes.
