One of the most worrisome problems in caring for elderly patients is that they may be injured at home and be unable to arouse assistance. Often the cause of injury could be easily prevented. Students can volunteer to screen homes for loose carpets, exposed extension cords, etc. and make recommendations for correction. Senior center presentations Organizing a presentation for the elderly at a senior center or retirement community is another rewarding project. Group members can choose a topic that would appeal to them and to the seniors they will be addressing.
Students can research the topic and make the presentations themselves.
