1. Bring some of their personal belongings when you go out. This can be their eyeglasses, walking sticks, and medicine. Going out can be stressful to them, even when they are hitting a distant road. Since the condition of the seniors tend to become unpredictable because of some factors like surroundings and activities, emergency may occur anytime. Because of this, you should be prepared and bring their medicine to prevent further complications. Furthermore, there could be activities that might require full attention and participation so stuff like eyeglasses and walking stick may help them out.

2. Get to know their needs. Seniors do have a different set of needs than the younger ones. Their health is one of those primary concerns and being acquainted with their condition will help you determine how to take care of them in terms of giving food and doing proper exercise.

3. Develop a bonding with them. It’ll be better when you get to know them personally, about their family, their interests, the things they used to do….. Listen to what they say for you might never know that you will be able to learn from those things that they speak.
