Hi, hope this helps you. If you need a one-minute speech for the elderly, you have to create a 110 to 150-word speech. It is the recognized and ideal rate or known better as words per minute. To help you with the idea, if you are talking to the elderly it is better if you make them feel that they are being appreciated for all the things they have done for us. They were the reason why traditions have been passed down to us, and they helped took care of us to become who we are today. Also, tell them that you can provide friendship and care to them if they feel lonely or neglected and that you can be there for them. Make them feel they are valued members of the family and of the society.
