This is an open source business idea.

Anyone is most welcome to do so. I would like to see this happen in Sri Lanka.

There are house nurses for your grandparents, there is house help for them. This is not what they need, often when grandparents seem angry and asking for attention is because we do not interact with them.

The only time we pay attention to them is to help them out, help them walk or bring their water. When is last time we hung out with them during the day?

This is what they seek, they want someone to hang out with them just sit with them watch TV, talk random conversations and play a game of checkers.

They are not needy, the only way they could hang out with you if when you are trying to assist them.

Hire kids 18 – 22 years (maximum) their job role is to hang out with grandparents, solely they visit clients’ grandparents and hang out with them for a specific number of hours a day. This might sound insensitive, I truly think this is something needed and not only is it a job role by a great deed too.

Have a think, let me know what you think of it?
