Helping the elderly
To help and brighten their days.
the mission
To help and brighten their days,
learn about their lives,
and put a smile on their faces.
Movie time
We got to watch grown ups with them, they enjoyed themselves laughing at almost everything, they all had huge smiles in their faces.
Daily paper
Reading the newspaper with them, was fun because when they found something funny or enjoyable their faces lit up. We had one of the residents tell us it had been a long time since they could talk about the news with a young person and liked how we had our own opinions on the issues going on in the world today.
Special someone
They even have a dog named Maggie, she was taken in by the home when her owner passed away, Maggie is 11. We also got to walk her and play with her.
why to help
Other things that were not able to be put on this s'more
We had videos to go along with this project but we could not download them because we did not have the correct software to do so. If you want we can pull them up on our ipads if you would like to see them. The videos are of the residents doing their daily stretches, which one of the residents told us that she did not like them because she had “enough exercise when she was younger and worries about today’s youth and that all they do is sit on their phones, and that she thinks we should be doing the stretches and not them.” and the other video is talking the dog, Maggie on a walk.
