Cedarville Students Bring Hope to the Elderly

In the United States, about 1.3 million people live in nursing homes, many facing loneliness, memory loss and emotional isolation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A group of Cedarville University students have created a program to help the elderly by offering encouragement, prayer and companionship just miles from campus.
