Senior Care Can Help Elders Overcome the Negative Effects of Isolation

Learn more about our loving senior care in Bonita Springs, FL

Support and companionship cover an enormous array of ways in which our senior care can help the clients we serve. Our care agency helps seniors maintain their regular routines and enjoy their independence while residing in their own secure and clean home. Our caregivers are trained in the importance of providing companionship and promoting their clients’ accessibility to social activities. Our Companionship and Support Services can include anything from conversation, to social activities or accompanying seniors to events they wish to attend.

Our senior care assistance may include:

  • Meeting up with loved ones and friends
  • Trips to the store
  • Attending church
  • Going to the theater or cinema
  • Visiting local areas of interest
  • Participating in interests and hobbies

Evidence reveals that there are numerous hazards and adverse effects from isolation, including elderly loneliness, – which include greater risks for mortality, dementia, cognitive decline and physical health issues. Looking after our aging family members involves assisting them in maintaining social contact and enjoying the company of others. Understanding the warning signs of loneliness in aging adults and being aware of what to do can help you give your parents or elderly family members the best possible care in their later years.

Identifying symptoms and causes of elderly solitude and isolation

Elderly people who live alone or in surroundings where they have minimal contact with close friends are at risk of isolation. If your parent lives alone, does not gets in touch with friends and loved ones, is not able to use technology (Skype, email, and so on) and doesn’t have loved ones residing in the immediate locality, they are vulnerable to feeling alone and isolated.

The most effective way to recognize signs of isolation is by using your ears and eyes. If a parent ceases his or her common routines, quits looking after personal hygiene or simply appears exhausted and gloomy, he or she may be experiencing the depression of being alone.

At times, listening to them is the key. Motivate your parents to speak to you in order to find out how they are doing. That way you will be able to learn if they are staying socially active. The elderly parent might voice frustration regarding missing particular individuals or particular much-loved activities. If this sounds like a recurring pattern, these might be indicators of distress due to isolation and solitude.

Looking for senior care services

At Assisting Hands, we believe the elderly are entitled to companion care which is inexpensive and personal. When you cannot be with your parent, a senior care provider or companion can fill the gap. Caregivers can give conversation and companionship, as well assist the elderly with activities, such as:

  • Errands
  • Grooming
  • Meals
  • Household Chores

Our senior care services are flexible and customized to your individual needs, all from the comfort of home. Our expert caregivers are trained, screened and skilled, to work with the elderly in many circumstances. A home companion caregiver can help seniors leave loneliness behind and enjoy life once more.

Contact us today to learn how our team of excellent care providers may help you and your family member.
