"Scottsdale, Arizona, has a program in place for teenagers to help out low-income seniors and disabled residents with home improvement projects."

This country needs badly to put its idle teenagers to work doing such projects for at least two years. It ought to be mandatory that teenagers serve their country in some aspect and serving senior citizens is a GREAT way to do it.

I like the phrase "idle teenagers," which describes many that I come across.  Perhaps they can learn some things so simple as respect and responsibility.  One practical problem I see is transportation though I'm sure if a community is willing, shuttles could be provided.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

<<Do you think your city is meeting the needs of seniors now?>>

I live in a state run by Democrats.  You know, the "we care about you" people, and I haven't heard one hint of any kind of a plan.  So the answer is no.
