Towne Centre is a retirement community for the elderly. These are people who have reached an age or a mental/physical breakdown where they are no longer able to care for themselves on their own. I feel so much sympathy for them. Some of them seem to have been forgotten about by their family and friends. It makes me want to care for them even more. To witness the quality of living a normal life be stripped from you everyday must be heart wrenching. To have to wear diapers because you have become incontinent must be humiliating. To no longer be able to feed yourself could be devastating to anyone. Taken away from your home and being placed somewhere unfamiliar around strange people must be frightening. What I am trying to accomplish by researching this site is to give people insight about elderly people and help them to understand what they're going through and help them if possible.
