About 43% of seniors report feeling lonely<\/a>.\u00a0 This can lead to depression, cognitive decline, and even increased mortality \u2013 it\u2019s a serious problem!\u00a0 Luckily, it\u2019s something Assisting Hands Broomfield can help with.<\/p>\n

Our caregivers certainly help with a great deal around the home, from light housekeeping to personal care to medication reminders.\u00a0 But they are also forming bonds with their clients and really connecting.\u00a0 We try to match caregivers with clients carefully.\u00a0 We don\u2019t just send somebody in because they\u2019re a warm body.\u00a0 Assisting Hands considers skills, personality, age, and life experiences when introducing a caregiver to a client.<\/p>\n

This bond allows our people to engage in meaningful conversations, not just idle chatter.\u00a0 We have helped clients reconnect with family and friends thanks to the strong relationships we have built.\u00a0 And by knowing each client\u2019s personality, we can spot signs of emotional distress early.<\/p>\n

If you have a senior in your life, here are some conversation starters you can use to connect with them like we do.\u00a0 Deep conversations add meaning to the day, and meaning leads to healing.<\/p>\n
