I watched a TV documentary recently that was making a serious attempt at addressing this problem in Australian society.

It was about older people in nursing homes who were sent to pre-school, with unrelated children a few days a week.

The effect on these senior citizens heath and quality of life was profound.

Yup. I believe it.

Consider, also: not all old people are mobile enough to leave their home (or even bed!). They need friends and happy people.

If you work with elderly, please be friendly. If you know elderly, please be friendly to them.
