For our aging population, this year has been difficult for many reasons. Our in home care professionals have helped seniors and their families across the region, providing trusted, compassionate support in times of need. At Visiting Angels® Chicago Lakeshore, we know it's not enough to alleviate physical difficulties.

Health and mobility issues may prevent seniors from socializing or engaging with others outside the home. Isolation is a big concern for seniors who live alone and can lead to an increase in depression, anxiety, dementia, and other health problems. The first step to managing depression and isolation in the elderly is to know and understand the signs. Professional senior home care can help.

The summer months are perfect for backyard barbecues, trips to the beach, vacations, and other outdoor activities with family and friends. However, if you are caring for an older adult, you may sometimes feel your summertime plans need to be put on the back burner. You don’t have to sacrifice your fun in the sun.
