This research clearly indicated that there is a need of an increase in setting a housing standard for the elder population including the elderly care center, the elderly nursing home, the elder with dementia residential care, palliative care, and the elderly community. The project extension of private sector in housing modification was a good solution to solve the problem at the root cause.
