International Day of the Elderly.

The third age is one of the periods of life where wit, sympathy and courage are essential. As the years go by, the deterioration of some physical and mental abilities is shown, so it is essential that family members provide support to the grandparents of each household.

Older adults are prone to falls and other accidents, which can affect their quality of life. Therefore, a revered gesture is to accompany them and offer them your hand when they need to carry out some activity outside the home.

It is also valid to offer a moment of the day to talk, sit next to them and pay attention to each of their reflections. Have we forgotten with how much attachment and patience they attended us in numerous moments and settings?

Another effective action is to facilitate their integration into the daily practice of physical exercises. This activity has been shown to be successful in physical and emotional state.

Caring for the quality of life of the elderly is an obligation of the whole family, and demands a good sense between messages and actions. Being respectful of each of their needs, treating them with obedience and strengthening their full incorporation into the family and social environment, are some of the most significant works to repay love to our idolized elders.

Happiness is incomplete in every home when its presence is not counted on. Therefore, let us show them while they live all the love, kindness and support, because only then will they be able to appreciate, thank and serve to never turn off their smile.
