A polite reminder about those 90 yr old geezers
Someone 90 yrs old was born in 1930. They grew up in the hard times of the depression.
They might have served near the end of WW2 but probably did serve during Korea.
They helped build the strongest economy after the war.
Now the vast majority of these folks are in assisted living or nursing care with limited access to family and friends because of Corona. The mental and physical decline of lack of socialization is hard enough to most of us... can you imagine for them.
Please think about contacting your local care home and find out what your family can do to help.
Cards and letters - everyone loves to get mail.
Care packages. Nice smelling soaps, lotion, treats .. ask the facility what works for them.
Donate games books and magazines. Puzzles. Books on tape. Old CDs or Cassette tapes. DVDs etc.
craft supplies - yarn - the coloring books made for teens and adults that come with markers or colored pencils. (add the foam grips)
Even younger people in care facilities are struggling. Please don't forget them.

great caregiver for Mom now, but she's going into the military next month, so it's back to the beginning. 
Finding a good, reliable caregiver is a difficult thing. We've been through several and my mother isn't even bedbound. Admittedly, Mom lives in a rural area, so the choices are limited.
