Is Retirement really Paradise?

This topic has been going on for a while, but is it really true? Well what do you think  about when you visit a retirement community: wheel chairs, bingo night, tapioca pudding, how about all of the above! That is right every stereotypical retirement scenario known to man has come true, and it is sad.  In the commercials the nursing and retirement  “companies” advertise that there facility is like heaven. Unfortunately even though they all  have good intentions and provide the most comfort there is still something missing. It is called fun! If I ever live in a retirement community I don’t want the most exciting part of the day to be lunch or dinner and I am pretty sure you don’t want that either. I hate that retirement has just become lay back ,rest and take it easy. I am not saying that I don’t like to relax every now and then ,all I’m saying is that retirees should not be retired from life! It is scientifically  proven that exercise and playing reduces the negative toxins in your brain that causes depression.  No wonder the retirees are so depressed no exercise, always confined to a wheel chair, for some, and no entertainment! If young mobile Americans can go to a coffee shop or a local club to see a band play why cant we bring the band to the immobile. I hope to really connect with my audience by visiting them one on one and just be a friend. Most people don’t know how many retirees have no family at all. Another scenario is that they have family ,but they never visit. As asked before in my Senior Project proposal what will be the proof that this project actual succeeded. I pondered this for a very long time and came to the conclusion that if I can get these people to sing along with me and smile, then I did my job.
