Question on the Brethren and the Elderly

Post by _moksha »

Except for Elder Bednar, the entire Quorum of the Twelve and the First Presidency are all senior citizens. While they might not share some of the struggles of the average old person, they too become infirm.

Do the Brethren ever visit senior centers and nursing homes, not as residents but as well wishers?

I don't know about nursing homes but certainly where ever they congregate should be considered a senior citizen center by default. :smile:
