    I'm a doctor, preparing for residency training. My dream by the end of my career is to build a old folks center and an orphanage/foster center side by side. This will allow our elders to have company of children, which they love, and will give our children caring grandparents.
    Its my dream, I promise if i live long enough I will do it!!

    In my home country of the Netherlands there are more and more initiatives similar to this video.

There they help out with taking (mentally, no actual nursing) care of the residents. I think it's a nice system to give people a place to live and take care of lonely elderly

Hearing their life experiences alone are worth millions to the ones that truly listen. I miss working with the elderly. It was such an amazing feeling to know that I was making their last days special, and they were making mine healthier. Often, they give advice that will really make you think about your own life path. I wish you the best, and I hope you do visit them. You won't regret it. ❤

      True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.

      Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect my funds and make profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.

      I've shuffled through investment coaches and yes, they can be positively impactful to an individual's portfolio, but do your due diligence to find a coach with grit, one that withstood the 08' crash. For me, “Annette Christine Conte” turned out to be better and smarter than all the advisors I ever worked with till date, I’ve never met anyone with as much conviction.

    I was in an accident five years ago that set me back so long-and I still haven't recovered. My body and mind are not working properly anymore, but seeing the energy from Dorothy (who is 70 years older than me) and all the other wonderful ladies in the video has sparked something in me. Their minds and energy are a great reminder of how you should approach life. I want to do better. Thank you guys ⚡⚡

    Such a wonderful video. It took me back to a time many years ago when I befriended a lovely 96year old lady. She told me her many stories and shared her great wisdom. Our time together only lasted 3 years before she died, but they were wonderful years I will never forget.

    I've been volunteering with the elderly and worked with them for years. Many have such great stories and experiences, and just spending 10 minutes talking to someone can make their week. If you go to a cafe on your own and see an elderly person sitting by themselves, please go up, ask to join them and chat to them. I used to work in a cafe where a lot of elderly came once a week just to get some human interaction, and it is soo rewarding to get to know them or introduce them to another regular customer.

    This video got me incredibly emotional. My grandma lived with us and was my best friend when I was growing up. She eventually moved into a retirement home that was more of an apartment building, more independent living. They’d gather in the community center in the building for events and such too. I loved visiting my grandma there, and she was always so excited to introduce me to all her friends- she knew everybody! 🥲 She passed 6 years ago, and I miss her dearly. The elderly have always had a warm place in my heart bc of my Grandma Grace. I’m glad you got to fulfill this dream of visiting a retirement home, Staffan 🫶🏻😊

    Shes crisp and clear and has been a realtor all her life, she's looking into moving out by me because we are close and into a nursing home.
    Whenever she moves here and I go to visit her, I'm gonna try and be like Stefan and make everyone around, not just my grandma, feel appreciated

    My Aunt is 102 1/2. She lives in Green Bay WI. She was a school teacher. Started in one room schools in central Wisconsin. She didn't go into a nursing home till she was 100.
    She took the Queen Mary boat over to Europe post WW2 with a another lady. I think of all the changes she has seen in her life time. She never married. The stories she has. I am so grateful my kids got to know her. She went to Green Bay Packer games till she was in her late 80's with her sister who recently passed at 86. She too was a teacher and never married. They had a lot of adventures together. So blessed to have them in our lives.
