DO you think people would pay me to go visit a family member in a senior citizens home, I would talk with them, read to them, and if they are able I could play games with them. We (my husband and I) went to a senior home for our church to sing hymns to the seniors and I feel that a lot of them are lonely. I asked about volunteering to do this but the person I talked to said I would have to have permission from a family member. So I thought if the family member is too busy to visit, maybe they would hire someone to visit in their place that would show empathy.
