When we do not have a sense of purpose, life becomes dull and aimless, and there is the potential for social isolation, loneliness, and even depression.
On the other hand, a sense of purpose boosts self-esteem, generates positivity, and makes people feel happier. It gives them a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Doing Buddy Reading with kindergarten children just across the road from our facility gave our residents a deep sense of purpose even to our dementia resident. At the end of the school year, the children and school gave a "thank you assembly" for our residents.
I loved this article, thank you Del for posting it!
This is wonderful Del, thankyou for sharing :-) I also am of the same opinion and strive everyday to bring purpose into our residents lives.
