Many old people are very lonely because they do not have families, or their families do not keep in touch with them. Living abroad, demanding careers or even internal family conflicts are often cited as some of the most common reasons to keep relatives apart from their elders. This can cause them to get depressed. Nowadays, some elderly people live together in special places known as retirement homes or old people’s homes. For this reason, a new practice to help elderly people in these places is becoming very popular. For example, sometimes small kids from kindergartens come to play with them for a few hours a day. This increases substantially the levels of satisfaction towards life from the elderly and, at the same time, the little children are excited to be the centre of attention – apparently their parents neglect them too of the quality time they need to have. There is another option for students who need a place to live. As they are students, they cannot pay high rent so instead they volunteer to help elderly people: they cook for them, get them things from the supermarket, or simply keep them company in exchange for a place to live. In the end, research has consistently shown that one of the biggest regrets people have in the final years of the lives is not to have spent more time closer to those they love the most rather than big job promotions or buying real state.
38. What is the best title for the text?
Broken Families: a chronicle.
How we are helping the elderly.
