Senior Care: Avoiding Isolation and Loneliness in for Seniors in Burlington, VT and the Surrounding Area

There are many age-related concerns that can make getting out of the house difficult for elderly adults. Limited mobility, memory disorders, and even incontinence are all issues that frequently prevent older individuals from engaging in the types of social activities they once enjoyed.

Being stuck inside without proper care and lack of human contact can lead to senior isolation. Visiting Angels provides senior care in Burlington, VT and the surrounding area in the comfort of their own home, meeting their needs and providing company throughout the day.

Manage Incontinence Issues

Suffering from incontinence can make seniors feel hesitant to leave home. With the help of a physician's consultation,  Visiting Angels of Vermont can help provide methods, medications and appropriate supplies to manage incontinence outside of the house.

It is important to remind individuals suffering from incontinence that the issue doesn’t have to be embarrassing and shouldn’t prevent them from living their best life.

Test Hearing and Vision

Social situations become less enjoyable for elderly adults with hearing and vision issues. Encourage your loved one to have their hearing and vision checked yearly, so they can fully engage in and enjoy conversation without becoming distracted.

Engage in Meaningful Conversation

Mental health of seniors is just as important as their physical health. Oftentimes, seniors just want to be heard by someone who is patient and respectful. As a family caregiver, it’s important to remember your loved one may simply want to talk and could desperately need a listening ear. Not only do our senior care services provide in home care, but our caregivers are also dedicated to listening to what their patients have to say and checking in on their mental health.

Increase Access to Transportation

For many elderly adults dealing with mobility or memory issues, driving can become dangerous, and public transportation can be unsafe, uncomfortable and inconvenient. However, this means they are left without a means of getting around to appointments, stores and social opportunities.

Rest assured that a safe ride to and from important destinations is a part of Visiting Angels of Vermont’s senior care services.

Make Mealtimes Social

Dining with others is part of the human experience. Seniors sharing meal times with family or friends can provide them with something to look forward to and make them feel more like themselves. These kinds of meals offer an important social connection that enriches the lives of people of all ages.
