Old age day cares and home are open for anyone who has a caring heart for the elderly. Professionals such as social workers, caregivers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, doctors, nurses, and any other non-professionals can come and volunteer. Old people desire to be loved, but many times feel alone. They also need a lot of care due to their low immune system.

Elderly people long for care, love and affection. If you understand their needs and concerns you will make them have good health and live longer.

Volunteers will take part in the following:

• Providing encouragement and conversation
• Helping them with personal hygiene
• Feeding those who are not able to feed themselves
• Taking them out for exercise for those who have mobility problems
• Housekeeping from the kitchen to their dormitories
• Taking them for medical checkups
• Preparation of their food
