Help With Senior Isolation

If you have a family member aging at home, you may worry about how they're doing on a daily basis. Often, it's not just about their physical health and safety. You're probably also concerned about how isolated they may be. For those seniors in Perry and the surrounding area, setting up in home care services can be the way to go. 

How can that help? Let's review some of the bigger risk factors for social isolation, and how home care has an impact.

3 Contributors to Senior Isolation in Perry 

At Visiting Angels^® Central Georgia, we provide dedicated support to seniors across the region. We know that many families worry about their loved one's well-being. If you're not sure whether your aging loved one is feeling isolated, here are a few questions to ask yourself: 

• Do they live alone? It probably comes as no big surprise, but a significant number of seniors live alone, and this can contribute significantly to isolation. Think about all of the casual social contact that occurs when you live with another person—even saying hello or having breakfast together can be subtly impactful. It's one of the reasons that having regular caregiver visits can be so valuable for seniors on their own. 
• How do they spend their time? Many seniors choose to work well into their retirement years, and this can be especially beneficial for maintaining regular social contact. For those retirees who have few hobbies or social engagements, there may be little to occupy their time. In home care services can help seniors find meaningful activities in the Perry area. Our agency can even help clients make travel arrangements if they are no longer permitted to drive. 
• How is their health? Poor health can significantly worsen the potential for isolation. Seniors may feel ashamed of their condition, or they may be worried about how they'll fare outside the home. Elderly care can be particularly helpful here. Caregivers can assist with any physically difficult tasks and can keep the house in good order for visitors. We can even accompany seniors on social excursions, so they have support when they need it.
