This document discusses aging and the physical, mental, and social changes that occur as people get older. Physically, aging can result in less strength, weaker senses, brittle bones, and reduced mobility. Mentally, the mind can still learn but dementia and Alzheimer's disease may occur. Socially, older adults may experience the loss of a spouse, mandatory retirement, and less involvement in community activities resulting in loneliness. The document also lists several programs and services available in the Philippines to support the needs of older adults, such as senior citizen clubs that provide discounts, financial assistance, and homes for the aged that are funded through donations.
