First Impressions and What You Learned at the Elderly Daycare Center

Made by: Zoey

Today we went to the Elderly Daycare Center. Before I went there, I thought it would be very dirty and all the grandparents were resting in bed all day, but after I went there I can tell all the grandparents are very happy and they all have smiling faces every time. Before I went there I had prepared two questions to ask a volunteer inside the center. My first question is “How often do grandparents exercise ?” Volunteers say they need to exercise for 1 hour or more every day but mostly it is indoor exercise. I think letting grandparents exercise every day is a very good choice because they can have a healthy body. The second question that I asked is “How can you look after all the grandparents at the same time ?” a volunteer said that before the covid-19, many people came to the Elderly Daycare Center to help. After covid-19 came, most people leave, but if grandparents need help they can tell the worker or they can tell the other grandparents. I feel like all the people in the Elderly Daycare Center are very friendly and kind. They smile all the time. Also, a lot of grandparents went to talk with us. They may be excited to see us. This time we do not have enough time to talk with them, next time we will have time to talk with them. I am worried about talking next time because I can not speak Taiwanese also I am confused about what I should talk with them about next time, maybe the news or their childhood.
