Whether its a parent, grandparent, relative or a friend. There are a lot of ways you can help socially isolated and lonely seniors in your community. It is often difficult to witness the deterioration of mental and physical abilities in an elderly loved one. But, instead of focusing on the negatives, lend a helping hand and let them know that you’re there to help.
Even though reaching out to the elderly may be an intensely overwhelming experience. This woman’s heartwarming Twitter post about helping an old lady will help you overlook challenges.
Celeste was on the way to the gym when she saw an elderly lady sitting on the sidewalk. It seemed like an eerie place to sit, which made her uneasy, so she decided to go back.

Seniors are accustomed to leading productive lives, as are you. You can always volunteer to help the elderly by contacting national and local volunteer groups. However, to begin with, if you think an aged person on the street needs help, don’t walk away thinking that they’re okay.
