Want to get more involved in your community? Lend a hand to the seniors in your neighborhood! Seniors who have little to no family living nearby can have a hard time navigating the challenges of aging, and often wind up moving out of their beloved homes into care facilities to gain access to the assistance they need. From providing practical assistance with everyday tasks to navigating financial issues, there are several great ways you can help out. And as an added benefit you set a great example for our kids, who, in turn, will likely help seniors themselves now and into the future.
