When we get to a certain age in life, our personal relationships become essential to our care and well-being. We often rely on the help and support of family and friends, neighbors, and community organizations to do things we can longer do by ourselves.

It’s one part of a noble and just exchange of social capital. After all, it’s only fitting that we care for the older generations who have helped raise us, and who remain important, admired members of our families and communities.
