The elderly love any attention they can get, and programs like this one help to make their lives all the better. It gives them activities to break up the loneliness of their day. Just ask them. They will tell you how much they enjoy the company and the friendship. I can see it in their faces every time I walk into the room. It is almost as if the whole room were sending me a telepathic message that said "Thank you for caring." -- Russ Geisenheimer
