The elderly are tightly controled. They are subject to behaviour modification until the day they are "released."

Oh, there's lots to learn," Fiona replied. "There's administrative work, and the dietary rules, and punishment for disobedience – did you know they use a discipline wand on the Old, the same as for small children? And there's occupational therapy, and recreational activities, and medications....

Fiona is a main character in The Giver. She was assigned to be a Caretaker of the Old. She is cheerful and eager to help old people at the Home, and is also Jonas and Asher's best friend, and is the main subject of Jonas's Stirrings. She has dark eyes like almost all of the rest of the Community and has red hair.

The Caretakers' job is to take care of the elderly in the House of the Old. They look after the elderly, which includes feeding, clothing, and bathing them. At the Ceremony of Twelve, the Chief Elder describes Jonas’s group as having one who has “singular skills at caretaking.” Jonas knows immediately who she means.
