Why I am interested in senior care system

I have been interested in senior care systems since I heard conversations between my grandmother and my mother. My grandmother said to my mother, "Nobody seems to need me because I am too old". At that time, I was 11 years old and my grandmother was 75 years old. I was shocked when I heard it and felt very sad because I loved and needed my grandmother. She could not lead happy senior life.
After I heard the conversation, I came to wonder that Japanese seniors were happy. I wondered that many Japanese seniors have no reason for living same as my grandmother
