As a story by National Geographic indicated, it seems that one of the most important factors in living a long, healthy life, is that people stay involved in their communities. In-Home Companion Services helps people to do just that. It's fully staffed by volunteers, and provides a variety of outside activities such as entertainment, current event discussions, and pursuing their hobbies and interests, all focused on interacting with others in their community.


What this wonderful group is doing is of especial importance to me personally: I feel that one of the major ways that Americans and many other communities fail in kindness and justice, is to pay enough respect and attention to the elderly in our communities. These are the people in most need of love and attention and are yet  the most neglected, while we owe them the most: almost every thing we enjoy and rely on is there because of those who came before us: our farms, our laws, our music, our science, our art and literature, our roads... our entire history!
