Abstract
The importance of this topic is to hope for better patient outcomes in the geriatric population. Human touch may be an effective way to provide comfort and care, with a deeper purpose/goal to older patients who may be struggling with mental health conditions. Older individuals that are struggling through illness or mental distress are in desperate need of human touch and how it is crucial it is in the role of caregiving (Pedrazza, 2018).
