What can I do for the elderly at nursing homes?

I recently volunteered at a nursing home for the elderly doing random paper work and such..nothing special.. and I noticed that these people were NOT happy. They were being forced to do everything by a schedule. I just found it wrong.
They seemed to prefer to be left alone.

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can make the lives of the residents of this home any better.
