Is Your Loved One Lonely?

COVID-19 has led to a rise in loneliness and isolation for seniors across the United States, including here in Palm Harbor, FL. If your senior loved one feels alone and disconnected from friends and family due to the pandemic, in home care can help. 

In home care from a professional caregiver brings physical assistance and companionship directly to your loved one and exactly when they need it. At Visiting Angels^® Clearwater, we help local seniors connect with caregivers in their community, offering the services they require. 

How In Home Care Helps Seniors in Palm Harbor

When thinking about the effects of the coronavirus, thoughts naturally turn to physical illness. Yet, the emotional distress caused by loneliness and isolation is significant and can lead to depression, anxiety, dementia, and sleep disorders. 

Visits and phone calls from family and friends can ease feelings of isolation. However, social distancing restrictions have made personal contact difficult for many. That’s where in home care can make a real difference.

Caregivers provide comforting companionship and physical support for seniors in Palm Harbor. Just a few of the ways they can provide assistance and social interaction include:

• Company at home and while enjoying favorite activities
• Transportation to shopping and appointments
• Help with mobility, bathing, toileting, and dressing
• Keeping the house tidy and ready for visitors
• Planning and preparing healthy meals
• Help using Zoom, FaceTime, and messaging to talk with family and friends

These examples are just the tip of the iceberg. Seeing a familiar face regularly can lift your loved one’s spirits. Having someone available to talk about the day’s events or watch a movie can be a welcome comfort. Respite care, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, transitional care, and palliative care are also available.
