grandparents

the best way to ease these people's burden is to show to them that they are well loved..not necessarily by their love ones but by people that surrounds them.i pity for those people who abandoned these elderly people..

I believe one never really know the real worth of something unless they lose it or simply never had it.. Good attitudes towards elderly people are good deeds: I would also add, that bringing them materialistic things, in one way do pleases them, but most importantly, just a warm visit, some long hours talks, a small walk, all these are more than enough to keep them happy.. Just try imagine, whats the wound, thats never cease from showing an aura of pain and agony around them? Its the parting from their flesh, ignorance of their kins, right? They just need their close ones, just need some love, some care, and affection..

I have a big soft spot for elderly people...My grandparents raised me and I took care of them..I go to the nursing home and visit the elderly also..The smile on their face is worth every minuet of my time...It makes me feel better inside as a person....

My grandparents were in a nursing home for about 4 years, first my grandfather and then my grandmother, so they were there together for about 3 years. I used to work in that same nursing home and, honestly, the people who had more visitors were always happier. I always appreciated it when someone visited my grandparents because we couldn't always go visit as often as we would have liked. It's really important to the residents that they feel that the rest of the world hasn't forgotten them. I think it's a wonderful thing for you to do, I'm sure it will be appreciated.
