I miss taking care of senior citizens, I miss their company

There's something different about chilling with old people. I'd pick them over my own age group any day. 😄
I used to deliver meals to the elderly in my rural community for meals on wheels. I miss the ones I got to know so well and would stop and check up on periodically even after the job ended ( funding)

@Bexsy so sad they couldn't keep it up. Infuriating actually considering the bs that always does get funded.
@Notsimilarreally it really is infuriating. So much nonsense that isn't needed gets full funding. A lot of times I was the only person they saw for weeks at a time as family lived far away
@fungirlmmm the center where meals was cooked was a non-profit organization. I did towards the end work completely by volunteering. Even cooking. But, the center lost its march of dimes funding and everything. We managed to keep it open to serve in town residents only.

@Bexsy we need more advocacy for seniors on their own, everywhere.
Me too, I worked as a caregiver for many years and they are the best company I experienced in my life.

@mindlessdrifter yes! 🥰👍
The industry needs more people like you. Your work is so sadly undervalued.

@OlderSometimesWiser well they also need some stricter standards as to who they hire. I heard so many bad stories doing in home care. So many girls want this job because it's unsupervised and they can just sit around, because old people are vulnerable and they steal, devious reasons.
You can take care of me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Notsimilarreally Hey the older ladies loved me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Sojournersoul another important reason for men in the industry hahaha. The girls need the eye candy 🍭
@Notsimilarreally So true. 😉

If you ever need a job, there are plenty of opportunities to care for us old folks. Thank you for seeing us as worthy of care!

Lol the old schoolers have the best stories and since they’ve lived along time they tend to have some good advice. 😎

Then volunteer at nursing homes. The residents would love the company and you could visit as much as you wanted to.

I chill with older individuals all day
I like hearing their stories and getting their takes
I feel that I learn a thing or two

That's what's partly wrong with society, we ignore history
And when you do that, you are bound to repeat mistakes
