The Priceless Gift of Humor and Aged Care
A Manitoba piece celebrates elder care efforts in rural towns with public funding and community homes. It argues loneliness drives need beyond finances and praises home-like centers offering companionship, comfort, and safety for seniors. It notes humor helps public speaking and daily life, and urges slower, safer driving on sideroads during busy weekends.
