Some great places to volunteer to work with the elderly are your local hospital, hospice center, or nursing home. Many elderly people don't have anyone to visit them so they greatly appreciate volunteers who come spend time playing games or just talking with the elderly patients. It is very rewarding as well.

At your local nursing home, you should be able to volunteer there. You would be able to help the elderly and also talk with them to keep them company!

Talking to the elderly is such a great idea; sometimes they may feel lonely, or isolated from their families and friends. One way to volunteer is to inquire directly at the nursing home that you want to contribute at. You can give them a call, or visit in person. I'm assuming that they might run some background checks as well.
At the same time, kindness begins at home. If you know an elderly person in your neighborhood or local area, perhaps you could pay them a visit just to chat. They may appreciate your company!

Often you can ask in care homes if you can volunteer, it often helps if you can do something engaging with the people there, such as teach very basic computer skills, help them make cards for relatives, or maybe do a quiz evening.

Look into any of your local community centers for older adults! A lot of them welcome volunteers to come and simply talk with the participants there, though you're bound to get involved in various activities too! There's also the option of volunteering in assisted living facilities and within hospice care, though it's not for the faint of heart.

I love doing things for the elderly people in the neighborhood, but I also like to go to the local Senior Home. I go and serve lunch and dinner.

Keeping mind that elderly people have less self control and sometimes might be difficult to handle,we must behave with them gently and with care as if they are children.
