Yes, they can be sweet, but sometimes if they have Alzhiemer's they are not so nice.

I really do enjoy helping out eldery people. I take the time to talk to them, lend a helping hand and most of all I enjoy seeing them smile. There are too many elderly people out there that don't having anyone to help them. I don't like to see them feel lonely. Nobody deserves that.

Of course!! I used to work at a nursing home and I liked it because I would get to help everyone. They have the most amazing stories of their times, right? I quit my job because I would get too attatched to some of the residents and it was very difficult for me when they would pass away. I still like to help Elderly people.

Yeah, i often help old people. Old people r great blessing of God. I do n't have any old person at home but my parents but they r n't too much old. I think that we should help old people and get prayers from them.

In India, most youngsters are at the service of elderly people, because the concept of Home for aged is not popular or not yet caught up the attention. That means, the elderly grand parents or parents who are aged are looked after by the parents or grown up children at home. These elderly people are in the company of smaller children, sometimes taking the children to school and bringing them back, some elderly ladies are still helping the houselady in cooking etc. In all festivities and celebrations, the elders are always respected and looked after very well and lot of youngsters seek their blessings.

I am glad that everyone enjoys helping elderly people, because in about 30 or so years, I will be one too. LOL
Yes, it is great talking to elderly people because they have so much history to share with us. If we don't learn from them now, later on those things will be forgotten.
My dear mother-in-law has dementia, which is very sad. She was diagnosed 11 years ago now, and has lost her power of speech etc. She has been in a Nursing Home for the past 6 years because none of us are in a position to care for her personally. She lives about 10 hours drive from us, but we visit her several times a year, although she no longer has any idea who we are of course.
Sadly, it happens to so many, so spend all the time with them that you can now, just in case your elderly relations end up the same.
