Assisted Living Facilities - For the Love of Life! The definition of love is different from person to person. For some, it is just passion, and for some, it's all about compassion.
And it changes as we age. Love in old age does not mean romantic dinners and fancy vacations, just like it is for many in their twenties and thirties. Of course, there are senior couples who go out for dinners and live the moments like no tomorrow. Because 16 or 60, love remains the same — what changes is the way one expresses it in old age. And seniors become more of companions than lovers in old age. Being a companion is sort of a promotion from being a lover. As a lover, you are passionate, and as a companion, you become the soulmate! Companionship - The Love Type of Our Seniors Companionship is the word that comes into mind for most seniors when they want to define the word ‘love’. Companionship is the source of emotional bonding in seniors. Being there for someone or admiring someone who is there for you is a way of compassion.
