What to do when there's nothing to do

Ever wondered what happens when older people move into Residential Care (Nursing Home)? Well some of the elderly are lucky enough to have family that care about them, visit them regularly and attend to their needs that crop up from time to time.
But some of our elderly, who just happen to have no family left, or as in some cases have family that do not bother to visit them at all, are just left alone to spend the rest of their lives seperated from the rest of the world and what it has to offer. These people rely on a good hearted nurse to buy their 'bits and pieces' in her/his time off, or any other requirements they might have. So with this in mind, I would say that if anyone is bored and/or lonely then here's the thing . Go visit a nursing home(and there are plenty of them ) and brighten up an elderly persons day. It will be well worth the effort and will be very rewarding for effort put in. As one would be aware, the Nurse-Patient ratio is high, which means that nurses are run off their feet and don't have the time to just sit and talk with these people. So the benefits are two way...to the visitor and the resident. Go visit a Nursing Home today....yaaaayyyy
