Thank you for responding to my question.  I take a neighbor to my country club for lunch (she's 90) and I know she enjoys it.  I am summering in Hawaii and would be willing to take a senior for the wonderful experience but wouldn't have any idea as to how to go about finding someone who would want to go with my daughter and I.  I have found that as I call facilities people are so careful in not making a mistake that they are unable to take advantage of what I'm willing to do.  I even went to one nursing home with an offer to just hold hands with the residents and they wouldn't even let me in the door.  By winter if I am still unable to find a private duty client to love I will have to go back to work and it'll be back to the nursing home where people are treated like cattle without dignity or respect with none of the love that they need and deserve.  I'm not looking forward to it.
