Tips On Assisting The Elderly In Infirmity

By Bruce Jopples


Assisting the elderly in infirmity is a touchy topic as the older people carry with them an attitude where they are unappeased with their current situation and are searching for answers that the youth have never considered.

For example, you could simply move to the back of the bus once you get on in order to leave the front for the elderly so they don't have to walk as far. Simple considerations like that will make their day as their sense of appreciation is grown when
