“being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everyone; I think that is a much greater hunger; a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat." - Mother Teresa

People who are elderly don't just need someone to support them with tasks and reminders, but also someone who is willing to listen to their story and no matter how many times that story is repeated, listen as if it is the first time.
