Types of elderly people living alone: 

There are three main types of elderly people living alone: self-care elderly people, assisted elderly people, and cared-for elderly people. Self-care elderly people carry out daily activities independently and do not need care from others. Assisted elderly people need auxiliary facilities (such as wheelchairs, crutches, handrails, or mechanical devices) to help them move in their daily lives, such as elderly people with mobility problems. Cared-for elderly people refer to elderly people who cannot complete daily life activities independently and need assistance from others, such as elderly people who have suffered a stroke.

As they age, assisted elderly people living alone are more likely to suffer from basic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and tumors. When a disease breaks out, they may not be able to get timely treatment, which increases health risks.

Elderly people living alone often feel lonely and helpless, and this psychological state not only affects their quality of life but may also have a negative impact on their health. Due to the lack of companionship from their children relatives and friends, they may feel spiritually empty and psychologically lonely. In addition, elderly people living alone may feel helpless and fearful when facing emergencies, such as accidental injuries or illnesses.

The social support system for elderly people living alone is relatively weak, and they lack sufficient social connections and community support. Although some communities and government agencies are working hard to provide elderly care services, the coverage and quality of these services still need to be further improved. In addition, although the proportion of elderly people using the Internet is increasing, they still have difficulties in adapting to digital life.
