NANJING: In a welfare house in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing, 25-year-old Jiang Zhenyi taught an old lady how to play wooden block puzzles, not for leisure as in some elderly care service, but as a test to assess the abilities of the aged.
“Judging from the granny’s movement of rotating the wooden blocks, her hand-brain coordination is not bad, ” said Jiang, who held a detailed assessment form in her hands and carefully ticked the checkboxes on it.
