Senior Citizens

You all have grandparents, maybe even great grandparents, or you see elderly people around town. Is there anything you can do to help an older person with their problems?

What do you think is the biggest problem for the older people in Joliet?
remember use a complete sentence

  1. The biggest problem in joliet for old people is that as the economy is getting worse taxes are getting high and the older people cant't pay the money to keep living in there house. As a result they go bankrupt.

  2. The bestest problem I think for older people is to get around. The reason I think this is because you always see them with a walker or a cane something of this. So I feel that we should help them cross the street and just take the time to talk them . You never know they might surprise you.

  5. I believe the biggest problem for older people is shopping. It takes a lot of energy to carry all of the stuff and older people dont have as much energy as younger ones. Driving is dangeerous too.

  46. the bigget problem in joliet is that people do not like caring for old people because sometimes they feel that if they are going through hard times why should they have to care for other people. personally i think that it is wonderful that we have nursing homes because without nursing homes who would care for old people. today therer are people dying because of diseases but some old people do not have enough insurance.

  47. I think that we should pay more atenttion to elderly people. Just because the goverment is taking there retiredment money they have earn for some years. An I think that is wrong the.They cant work any more to earn money. So what can they do nuthing really becaues they are getting older.

  63. If there was a old laddy tryin to get across the street and it was hard for her I would help her get across the street. And if there was a old man tryin to put his stuff in his dathers car I would help him put it in the car. I think that a for Senior Citizens' is that they shouldn't live by there selfs if they need help...
