Many senior citizens throughout the U.S. deal with isolation which can have detrimental effects on their physical and emotional health. There are over 12 million seniors who live alone in the United States. Many experience the negative effects that isolation can have, including depression, serious illness, and high blood pressure.
To help combat isolation among the elderly population, Assisting Hands Home Care provides our clients with companion care as well as quality in-home care. We regularly engage your loved ones in both conversation and activities to give them back the social element of their lives that they may have lost.
Companion Care
Our caregivers are open to participating in a range of activities with your loved ones including hobbies and recreational activities. Having someone to spend time with can do wonders for your loved ones’ well-being.
We regularly engage your loved ones in activities that include conversations, walks, exercises, games, running errands, and preparing meals. The companionship that our caregivers provide can result in the following benefits for your loved ones:
- Improved Memory: Engaging in activities with another person will keep the minds of seniors active. This helps with relieving tension and anxiety that can affect memory.
- Improved Physical Health: Our caregivers can help seniors engage in physical activities that will help strengthen their bones and muscles.
- Improved Emotional Health: Isolation commonly leads to depression and anxiety. Having a social companion will help relieve these feelings for improved emotional health.
Increased Lifespan: Because isolation can lead to depression and poorer physical health, companionship can increase the lifespan of seniors by improving their physical health and helping them manage their stress and anxiety.
