Help Prevent Social Isolation
Connecting with others is often a crucial part of our every day lives. As we grow older this can sometimes be difficult to maintain and many seniors find themselves feeling isolated and alone as they age. Loneliness and the sense of social isolation in seniors has been connected to poor health, and shorter life expectancy. Therefore social interaction is an important aspect when caring for the elderly, especially if they live alone.
An elderly loved one can feel alone and socially isolated for a variety of reasons. It could be from retirement, the death of a spouse or significant other, complications from health issues and can even stem from income difficulties. These are often trying events that can lead to a distancing from others.
