In recent years, more elderly people are living alone because of migration, busy work schedules of family members, and changes in how society is structured. This has raised serious concerns about their safety and overall well-being. Elderly individuals living alone are at higher risk of health problems, difficulty moving around, and challenges in handling everyday tasks. They often don't have someone nearby to help when they need it most. Traditional ways of getting help, like relying on neighbors or informal community groups, are not always dependable or fast enough. To tackle this, the Golden Years Community Support System has been developed as a digital tool that connects elderly people with trained local volunteers in real time. This system lets older adults set up profiles, share their location, and request help through an easy-to-use app. When they do, nearby volunteers get instant alerts and can respond quickly. This approach helps ensure that support is both timely and organized, making the elderly feel safer, more independent, and improving their quality of life.
