Adopt a grandparent is a fantastic way to help a senior citizen not feel lonely. Whether it’s done in person or virtually, it can really help bring a smile to their faces.
Seniors can be seen as a vulnerable group within our society that at times, is taken for granted. This might lead to solitude, confusion, and a general feeling of no longer belonging within a community.
Taking the initiative to be there for seniors, is a wonderful way to help mental and emotional health stay positive, especially nowadays, since we’re still in a pandemic. This is a very powerful movement to become a part of because it brings joy.
This can even be something your entire family can get involved with because it’s important to teach your children to participate in vital programs like this. Everyone can adopt one grandparent! There can be many topics you can discuss life experiences such as travel, hobbies, careers, etc.
Now, if you’re a caregiver that has already volunteered to adopt a grandparent, we’d love to hear a positive story or even a quick comment about it! However, if you happen to need some extra convincing to try it, then please feel free to join our senior community to connect and communicate with others. That way, you’ll be able to make an informed decision from others’ experiences, and see how rewarding it can truly be. In the meantime, please like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram, plus check out our sponsorship opportunities if you’re a service provider.
