This Tour Group Brings New Life To Seniors, Relief for Caregivers | Changing Ageing in Asia: Taiwan

Taiwan will become a super-aged society by 2025. For many older adults receiving long-term care at home, mobility challenges keep them indoors, limiting their ability to stay active and socially connected. Their families often face impossible choices when going out: Do we bring the elderly along and hope the venue is accessible, or cancel the outing so they aren’t left behind? Caregivers frequently skip vacations altogether, worried about falls, inaccessible toilets, and managing medication on the go. Enter Duofu, a Taipei-based social enterprise that designs accessible van tours designed for fun and adventure — not just medical errands. What will it take to ensure Taiwan’s rapidly ageing population can remain active members of family life, rather than just recipients of care? 00:00 Introduction 00:22 Why are families reluctant to travel with seniors? 02:16 How loss of mobility can impact seniors’ heath 02:53 Duofu’s safety and accessibility recce 04:07 Partnerships with restaurant owners 04:59 Why caregivers find value in Duofu’s services 05:26 Making tourist sites accessible for super-aged Taiwan 07:02 How travellers spread positivity In partnership with DBS Foundation.
