Senior are often bored. there isn't very much to do and visits are usually seldom. You can make someone 's day just by sitting down for a chat from time to time. Bring a thermos of coffee and newspaper and offer to read the day's headlines. Senior citizens have trouble seeing and hearing the news can feel like a blessing, especially if there are only a few televisions in the home. Your churh or children's group will often be welcome for demonstrations, puppet shows, singing concerts or even a band performance. These events give seniors something to look forward to and interaction with other people is so important to help keep them from being isolated.
Caring for an elderly parents does not necessarily mean taking them into your home or placing them in a nursing home. It does mean keeping contact and providing a sense of security, the same security you as a child always. Felt, that the are there for you when you need them. Caring for an aging parent can be enjoyable, especially if you understand what your responsibilities are, make sure that you don't neglect your own spouse and children and you get the help you need it. They were always thera for us, so it is time that we are always there for them.

Senior citizens are the forgotten members of our society. This is because growing old is something none of us want to think about.
Often, we block our minds from the fact that we ourselves will be senior citizens in the next forty years.
In our live, we go full circle, starting out dependent upon someone to take care of us as newborn babies and ending up that way too when we are frailed as senior citizens.
The difference is that babies are cute and adorable while elderly people are not. We often feel awkward when we are around them, not knowing what to do or say.
Senior citizens are people too. When they are helpless, they want to be loved and cared for just like the newborn babies. But unlike newborn babies, they have egos and prides which we should consider when we are handling them.

Bring a thermos of coffee and newspaper and offer them to read the day's headlines. Senior citizens have trouble seeing. Hearing the news read to them would make them appreciate your present.
Senior citizens need entertainment just like you and me. Activities such as puppet shows, karaoke or singing contests and field trips help them to feel alive and be part of the society.
They do not like to be segregated, isolated or looked down by people around them just like you and me. So be kind to them and take care of their welfare.

They were always there for us in time of needs. Therefore, we should always be there for them in their time of needs.
