Healing Advice Options

I'm currently working at a care home for the elderly/blind.
I've been working for about 3 months an i can see my-self working their for about a couple of years.
I can do a little bit of improvised energy healing but I'm not practiced, one of the reasons for getting the job was to get a better idea of how to handle it.

At the moment I'd much rather keep anything i do as covert as i can, also safety is a big issue, it's been my experience that powerful stuff can disrupt delicate existing balances,
some residences (one of which is 105!) are clearly gifted individuals while others are clearly coping with old age quite badly.

Here is a list of the major illnesses I'm working with here;
Blindness- over half of the residence are entirely or partially blind.
Muscle weakening- when an old person stops being able to move by themselves it's hard to keep what mobility they have left, which makes my life harder!
Bone's- this one old lady creeks like 4 people grinding their teeth whenever she moves, it's clearly agony!
Memory- When this goes it really effects the persons ability to cope with everything around them, especially if they are blind.
Diabetes- about half suffer from type 2, it can cause so many other health problems i can't begin to relate them all.
Dementia- it's fascinating to get to know these individuals but very hard to look after them, the confusion they can feel is quite terrible.

Obviously i can't cure all these, i would be a fool for thinking i could but I'm still going to try my best for them.
Tips? Ideas? I'm an industrious fellow an I'm sure with some time i could implement something quite far fetched.

When i started the job i thought i might be able to create some kind of ESP for the blind, i still think i could, but it's going to be a LOT of work.
Astral constructs designed to bestow easy ESP? that's the ticket but I'm still dubious as weather or not to include anything else while I'm at it..

All advice/comments welcome!

This is without doupt a far reaching subject,
determining someones will without words in order to suitably ascertain what your own 'will' should be is a fundamental aspect to the skill of being aware.
This is a natural skill people use when dealing with animals, magic, spirits an a lot more, every moment of existance is an action in some way,
fundamental magic doesn't stop happening simply because it's willed or disbelieved but one has to interpret the will of others none-verbally in order to do most things in life.
Do you ask weather its OK to say hello before saying hello?

Nothings black an white, an considering how easy it is to make a decision on a misshapen empathy, or to assume your own will is the will of another it's
hardly surprising people find solitude in simple rules or deity's, or in my case some idea of 'whole' all of which are concepts people can have enough faith in to
bypass the crushing weight of knowing your every action or inaction could be against the will of another.

We all simplify this far reaching subject because it's a subject that saturates our lives an will remain a complexity throughout,
the boundarys to which we say 'hold on, i'd better ask of this is ok' are determined by experience with ones own awareness an can't be substituted easily without
much diliberation.
In the case of using faith, the faith must be tested an strong, thus having an awareness weather your own faith is a good enough substitute for your awareness for another.

It should be said however that another's 'will' should always be in question in regards to your perception of their well-being an your own, for example;
Someone say to you 'hit me in the face with this plasma screen TV' and even if they really wanted you to do it with every fiber of their being, the choice is still yours.

Massage is one of those things that rely's almost entirely on none-verbal communication _once it's well practiced_.
You would expect a lot of 'dose this hurt?' from a beginner an probably total silence from a master.
