Seniors are our oldest population and have been through a lot over the years. We can learn a lot from them and while they may have different views on life, it is important to treat them with the utmost respect.

Be a Patient Listener

When it comes to old age, our elders have a harder time hearing, moving, and even listening to certain things we ask of them. Being able to give them the time to understand and listen to them is critical. Connecting with our elders gives them the satisfaction that they are important and gives us a sense of goodness as we are respecting our elders.

Be Friendly & Positive

There is no better way to get on someone's good side other than to be friendly and positive to them, and our elders are no exception. It will go a long way toward developing and keeping a good relationship with them, regardless of if they are family.

Respect Our Elders

We all grow up with different cultural and diverse backgrounds. Living in a country like the United States, we all are trying to live in harmony. Despite our differences, young or old, there is always something mutual that everyone can find common ground on. The simple value of respect towards our elders will give both parties great joy. 

Patience & Appreciation

We all have different circumstances with our elders. Whether they are your parents, grandparents, or individuals you are working with, they rely on you. Big or small, you play an important role in their lives. Understanding the simple ways you can help with their needs will be appreciated by them very much. You want to make sure you treat them the same way you would want to be treated now and once you get to be their age.

Understand Their Needs

They have gone through and experienced different things in life. Their way of thinking and living is different than the way you live and experience life. While you might not agree with some of the things they request, respecting the way they would like to live their lives is important. Some elders like to live by themselves while some don't want to be alone.
