How can I volunteer and talk to elderly?

Looking into community resources, I could find places where I could volunteer and talk with the elderly. Many nursing homes and assisted livings in the community has some sort of volunteer programs where they welcome those who wishes to participate in the activities designed for the elderly. Some community centers also has programs where the elderly have programs which volunteers are welcomed. The community where you live have these resources where one can sign up and volunteer.

You could go to a nursing home or maybe a hospital, but simply just walking a lady across the road is helping or carring their groceries!!

I can volunteer and talk to elderly by helping them out with anything they need and comforting them!

Many hospitals, council centres (sectors that provide help and food for the elderly) and care homes have sign up and volunteer programmes for stuff like this usually at front desks or they will know where to go, elderly homes usually have websites where you can inquire also.

Talk to them as if I am their children or grand children. I may not understand them, but I can be sympathy to them because they are at very ending of human life stage and thus, they are weak, both mental and physically.

i helped out at a retirement home when i was younger. i did it allot. it is what made me want to hear more and more stories. i love hearing what people have to say and to see another point of view.

You can go to your local elderly home.. I worked there over the summer for free. It was a little hard but it was worth it.

I like to go to an elderly home in my little town, and i play games with them, and talk to them, and make them feel special. Just simple things to make them feel good/make them happy :)

try going to a nursing home or hospital and giving them your resume and ask if they will take new volunteers.

Volunteering with the elderly can be a very rewarding experience. Old folks home are always looking for people to come in and simply talk with them, as well as play cards, board games and karaoke! Just simply call an old folks home within your area and ask what requirements are necessary to volunteer and you are on your way. Have fun and learn from these insightful people :)
