This was done by site visitation to the elderly to obtain information from key stake holder and user of existing facilities. This involved selected case studies of old people's home, facilities which are rather similar in character to the proposed old people's home. Also, secondary data collection was carried out and this involved the review of the existing but relevant literature like the following: Book in the library, journals, magazines, Newspaper articles, online web information, past research works, published and unpublished works among others.
