[quote=Anonymous]Ask for stories from when he was young. Also, ask for his advice on issues - old people feel like they're thrown away in this country. Help him feel useful. Can you bring a dog to visit each time you go? It sounds like having a pet would be too much for him, but getting him to sit with a dog on his lap can be very healing. Also, take him out sometimes. We used to spring my great-grandmother from her nursing home in the Bronx and bring her to our house for the day. We'd park her in the kitchen and she'd play cards and color with us and chat with my mom while my mom cooked. [/quote]
