Physical Need:
I see a wheelchair.
It can take place anywhere.
There is a nurse assisting the disabled old lady who is sitting in the wheelchair.
The elderly need a wheelchair because their wheelchair as their legs cannot support their body weight and without the wheelchair, they may topple down. And some of them are disabled so they need a wheelchair or else it would be very difficult for them to move freely.
The nurse could possibly be telling the old woman about her health condition.
It makes me wonder if the elderly woman has a family or anybody to take care of her?
Are her legs very weak?
Is she really disabled?

Emotional Need:
I see two elderly men playing a game of chess.
It can take place anywhere,so long there is a table.
There is a board game:Chess and it is for playing with a friend.
Playing chess with his old friend,he will feel happy,so it is an emotional need.
They meet up regularly to play a game of chess during their leisure time.
Who would be the winner of the game?
Why are they smiling to each other?

Social Needs:
I see 2 elderly women chatting happily over a cup of coffee.
It took place at cafe.
There are two cups of tea and they are grinning from ear to ear.
This is a form of social need as they can meet up and chat with each other.
There are two teacups and a teapot.
I think they are talking about their daily lives.
They are spending their tea time at the cafe,chatting.
What are they so happy about, that the are grinning from ear to ear?
This is a social need, as they interact with each other.

Intellectual Needs:
I see an elderly lady watching television as a form of entertainment.
It took place at the elderly lady's house.
There is a television and it is for entertainment purposes.
Actually,when bored one should watch television as when you watch it,time passes very fast without you realising it.
This elderly lady here is seen entertaining herself by watching the television.
The elderly lady must be bored as she is watchi9ng the television.
Is the elderly lady living along?
Does the elderly lady have any family members/relatives?
Is the elderly lady always bored?
Why the elderly lady does not want to go out and talk and meet up with her friends instead of staying at home?
Is the elderly lady always bored?
