We recently conducted a survey which revealed what seniors like to do most. The top activity listed was conversation and other activities include watching television, reading, walking, crossword puzzles, cooking and playing cards. 

When you think about it, most of these activities – even TV-watching – can be enhanced by conversation as well.  Human contact is like a lifeline for seniors, particularly those who live alone. Helping a lonely senior find a friend will help them make the most of each and every day by providing the conversation that is so important to seniors.
