A Senior's Problem


Responding to Seniors’ Needs
.

Let’s say you know an older person and they come to you for advice.  The following three statements are examples of their needs. How would you respond to their feelings?


Statement 1
“I’m all by myself. My partner died and left me alone. I don’t like to go out. I watch TV but it’s boring.”

Statement 2
“I used to enjoy woodworking so much, but my hands are too shaky now and my eyes are getting worse.

Statement 3
"I hate doing all those things I have done for years. I am sick of it all.”   It isn’t what it used to be.”
