This is the stage that need immediate attention and is the stage in which it could well be a couch potato. When working for a customer service agent for a company of online shopping based in the UK, I was impressed with the passion and enthusiasm of older people to remain engaged. Arts and crafts, hot air balloons, their attitude to life was exemplary. That’s one reason I thought to write an article on the activities of senior citizens, where we come in. Let us see some of the activities for the elderly.
Some of the other activities you can plan for the elderly are:
