I have not observed any new difficulties that they face. They pretty much face the same problems in their daily lives. The main problems of these elderlies are that when they enter the toilet, they might slip and fall because the floor is wet. If they fall it can cause them to be paralyzed. That was what happened to my primary school teacher. She was in her mid-fourties and she was half-paralyzed. If it was serious enough for someone in her mid--fourties, the consequences would be worst for the elderly.
Another main problem is climbing the stairs. If there was no handle to support them, they might lose their balance trip and fall. They also cannot sit for too long or else their legs would get numb and they would have difficulty trying to get up.
These are basically the main problems faced by most elderly, and the difficulties are the same over a range of different elderlies.
