Volunteering at the retirement home was a tradition of the heating corp that I worked for.
The people I was with and I arranged for bingo evening every Tuesday and karaoke on Monday.
The reason both of us the people at the heating business volunteered, is because both of us observed particular seniors never got any visitors and this was our way of making them know that they were not alone. The retirement home had a heating and that used recent heating technology. It was a dual fuel system that combined more than a single heating device; an electric heat pump and a boiler. The latter came in handy while in the dire winters. The heat pump install system was for when the weather was not too cold. The people I was with and I had upgraded the dial control component that was installed by a strange heating supplier with something current and more energy efficient but even by then it had started to fail. The game section which was also the lounge had radiant heated floors. The energy-saving tips were applied by the caregivers because the residents were old and were likely to forget easy things such as switching off lights before falling asleep, but last year when a heating worker went for the annual heating service he detachd a dead rodent in the air vent. They had been complaining of a truly foul stink but they could not tell the origin of it. The ductwork cleaning had saved them even though some of the residents were not truly sensitive to stinks due to old age but the caregivers were younger people and had suffered through it for several days before the professional came. It was a fine thing the health inspectors had not given them a surprise visit on those days.
