You have already listed the possible secular items... There is one more thing that may often over ride all these, that is the love they miss being lonely... talk to them spend time listening to their past days of glory or fall, show appreciation or sympathy as the case may by... you would find that their sickness, material needs etc would all recede greatly.. a fulfillment soothing their souls... May I quote what the great saint of Kolkata (India) said:
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given. - Mother Teresa.
Good luck.

suitable right here, Thomas, in this community of comrades. clever communicate, occasional hilarity, chuckles and sharing of advice or materials. i'm not attached for dish. I stay in a valley the place mountains intrude with radio transmission. I actually have a Senior Bus service for errands and appointments. I actually have a great next-door neighbor who values her privateness as much as I do, who escaped Katrina and moved faraway from Louisiana, with daughters right here, different friends who volunteer transportation, and a chum down the line. now and lower back she and that i are nicely on the comparable day, and might cavort around city or on long, distinctly drives. there is lots to maintain up with medically, all of it redundant and tiring, yet for antidote, stable books, stable CDs, stable DVDs, and now and lower back the imaginary scenes for yet another tale. Am a author, such as you, so solitude is a some distance cry from loneliness.

Services of mental, physical and spirituality are very important for senior citizens.
Mental exercises keeps the MIND sharp.
Physical exercises keeps the BODY moving.
Spirituality exercises keep the HEART young.

FIRST AND FOREMOST TO THINK ABOUT SENOR CITIZEN IS-------IT IS NOTHING BUT A" WHEEL IN ONCE LIFE " AND REMEMBER THAT EVERYONE NEED TO REACH THAT STAGE.
ONCE THIS IS WELL INFORMED WITHIN -------EVERYONE DO SHOW "TENDER LOVING CARE" WHICH IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS TLC.
WITH THIS WARMTH ANY ELDERLY PERSON CAN LEAD THEIR LIVES VERY HAPPILLY ALONG WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED.

To be treated with dignity and respect. To be loved. And if possible to have there children and/or loved ones visit.
