A deal of learning opportunities have been provided for active elderly. But it has not mentioned the fact that soon or later elderly will face their physical and mental changes and their slow declines will persuade them to abandon continuing learning. Similarly, Senior Citizens'Clubs positively participating in social activities have been subsidized for further promotion of their activities. But it is not easy to join social activities unless they have confidence in health and physical strength. The more active oriented the clubs are, the more older members are discouraged from participating club's activities and take a less active role in their clubs. This article, regarding the membership in the Senior Citizen's Club, mentions the importance of care for the older learners who are actually in disengagement process.
