Is your aging loved one feeling the effects of loneliness and isolation? It’s more common than you may think. In fact, a recent study by the AARP reported that over 42 million people over the age of 45 are suffering from chronic loneliness. If you are concerned about the happiness of an aging loved one in the Appleton area, Visiting Angels® Appleton WI is here to help. We provide customized senior care to families in Appleton, Menasha, Neenah, Freemont, Waupaca, Iola, New London, Greenville, Sherwood, Kimberly, and the surrounding areas. With companionship and physical assistance from our caregivers, seniors have the support and confidence they need to stay social and fight off loneliness.

How Senior Care from Visiting Angels Appleton Can Help

Unfortunately, seniors are more susceptible to loneliness and isolation than younger adults. This is often due to the effects of aging. Loss of physical ability can make it hard to walk, drive, and stay active. The loss of lifelong friends or a spouse can lead to a smaller social circle and self-isolation.

At Visiting Angels Appleton WI, our caregivers help alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation through a wide variety of senior care services, including:

Physical assistance. Changes in mobility, hearing, and vision can make it hard to stay active. At Visiting Angels Appleton WI, we can assist your loved one with physical mobility and a wide variety of daily tasks, including meal preparation, light housekeeping, and dignified assistance with personal hygiene.

Companionship. Even with family and friends living close by, many seniors feel lonely and withdraw. At Visiting Angels Appleton WI, we understand how quickly feelings of loneliness can take hold. That’s why all of our senior care services come with the benefits of social interaction, conversation, and companionship.

Transportation. Losing the ability to drive can be one of the hardest parts of aging, leading to feelings of anger and frustration. It can also make it challenging to stay active, especially for seniors that live far from friends, family, and amenities. That’s where our transportation services come in. Our caregivers provide reliable transportation for seniors throughout the Appleton area.  

Help with technology. While it’s not a replacement for human contact, new technologies such as FaceTime and social media such as Facebook can help seniors stay connected with family and friends, especially the grandkids! Our caregivers can help your loved one learn the latest technologies, giving them an additional social outlet.
