I do care for old people and they should be taken care of better. If the children can't personally take care of them, they should support them with money and the things they need. They may hire helpers to take care of their oldies. There should also be more homes for the aged where those who really don't have children to take care of them would be housed and the workers should be those who are interested to take care of the old ones and not just interested with their salary so that the elders would be taken care of better.

Old people should be respected and taken care of. There should be more homes for the aged and the personnel should be those who love to take care of the elderly. There are just those who want the money and do not care what happens to the elderly.

I have been very caring for old people. I pity them though unknowingly I am becoming old too already. It seems that it was just yesterday but yesteryears passed and more people are becoming older and so the problem of how to take care of them arise. I hope that their own children will take care of them. But really there are old people who do no longer have children and therefore the government should establish more homes to house the elderlies.

i do. More free health care programs are a good way to take care of the old people. Nature and Wildlife Parks entertain them like no others. Setting up senior citizens' clubs is an avenue for them to meet and socialize. Most important, the family shouldn't keep them out of their lives. They should still have some say on the family affair. Wisdom comes with old age.

Yes, I still care for old people. I respect them and appreciate what they have done in their life. After all I am also going to be old someday. What we are or what is in our society is because of the old people who were once young who make effort to make us or our past a better one. Thank you old people and we love you.
