The visit to the old age home was not particularly insightful for me. Ive lived with my grandparents for years and had a chance to observe them at close quarters. We attended a talk they were being given and it was interesting to see what kind of topics held their interest. They listened intently and asked questions. After that we went inside and conversed with an elderly woman. She seemed well to do. She wore the most beautiful traditional jewellery and she was extremely affectionate hugging and kissing each of us. She seemed pleasantly surprised when I touched her feet.
None of us thought we got the proper experience in comparison to our peers who went elsewhere. This place was a Senior citizen Enrichment and Recreational facility. The inmates all went for their afternoon naps immediately after the talk. Even though the talks werent what we went for, we ended up spending most of our time listening to them wherein interacting with the audience was actually what was on our agenda.
Still. It was a pleasant experience.
