    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.

      You won't regret it! You can learn so much from them, and they really just want to feel and experience a little excitement in their life and possibly gain a new friend along the way. 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. ❤

    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.

    This has to be the most heart-warming amaing video I have ever watched on YT. It was absolutely beautiful and has inspired me to get in touch with my local retirement home to see if I can volunteer and be a buddy to the residents there.
    I have to comment though on Dorothy… 102 years old? She looks 70 at most?! She looks bloody fantastic!! I can only hope 1. I make it to that age and 2. I look as great and am just as lively. All the women in this video were just so full of life, inspiring and spunky! Beutiful people. So inspirational. Thank you Yes Theory and I can’t wait for the next video!!

    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 🫶🏻😊

    Way to make my cry for half of the video, I lost my 88 yr old great grandmother last year and that was a hard hit, currently my grandma faubert is 93 and JUST this year retired.
    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
