Nothing. That is best case scenario. That is friendship.

  That's your business. Helping elderly people find friends, not just paying for calls. I once worked as a beverage technician when I was younger. My heart would break when I worked retirement communities. The rich ones lived the life with activities and friends, the poor ones lived solitary existences and the despair and lonliness was palpable. So maybe you connect people until they have found a friend. Personally, I'd charge a bit less though, as many are on fixed incomes. Also maybe consider taking less off the top? I think of a gentleman I met once who loved being in the kitchen just to see something different and have an 'outside conversation'. He meant with someone who didn't work or live there. The workers there don't really treat the elderly like people sometimes. Good luck with the venture!
