A lot of those angels would love to just have you visit them and read to them or talk to them. And wash their face or comb their hair do their nails anything, so many are being abused in nursing homes, just your presences their will make a lot of wrong that is being hid go away, God bless you for your compassion so many in the nursing homes need people like you...God,s speed...Do this it is so needed...God bless the USA and Israel and All

You need to know that it isn't always pretty there. There are happy people who want to talk to you about their families and old jobs and love being there to socialize with friends, but there are also patients who sit in the common room and cry.....or scream...or try to crawl out of their wheelchairs, moaning to go home.
The first time I went, I was pretty shocked and left a little disheartened, however, be prepared for what you see, and stick with it, because it is really rewarding.

Stop in to your local nursing home and ask them. You may need clearance from them first.
It's a nice thing you are doing.
