The trip to the home for the elderly was very similar to my previous volunteer experience at a retirement home. Some of the residents were not able or willing to communicate while others were quite talkative. Some of them needed assistance with eating and walking. The level of interactions were very similar as well as far as listening to their stories, playing games, or just giving a pat on the shoulder. It was interesting to see the similarities, and the experience reminded me that I would not mind working with the elderly in some capacity. I think, as a future professional, it is important to understand the perspective of the elderly but also to understand how this potentially affects their loved ones.
