Visiting Angels Helping Seniors Stay Active
Inactivity can significantly impact your senior loved one’s physical and mental health. If your aging loved one is losing their ability to do everyday tasks like grocery shopping or exercising, it may be time to reach out for support. A home care provider from Visiting Angels can provide seniors with the support and encouragement they need to stay healthy and engaged in their daily life.
Let’s explore how our home care providers help seniors stay active so they can continue aging in place.
Home Care Services
Visiting Angels offers home care assistance to seniors needing help with everyday activities and household chores. For example, our professional caregivers assist with grocery shopping, meal preparation, personal care, and many other activities necessary for seniors to stay active. By offering a helping hand and encouraging seniors to remain independent, our home care providers keep seniors safe and in a healthy environment.
In addition, they can keep seniors physically active by taking them on short walks or helping them maintain a regular exercise routine. This guarantees seniors engage in enough exercise to stay fit and remain active.
Companion Care
Sometimes, loneliness and other mental health factors can cause seniors to become less active. Visiting Angels’ companion care services provide seniors with the companionship they need to stay positive and engaged with their lives. Our home care providers can also motivate seniors by offering to take them to explore their local area, visit friends and family, or attend special events.
Social Care
Our social care services familiarize seniors with technology so they can take advantage of the internet’s resources. By teaching them how to research information online, our professional caregivers offer seniors the tools they need to access various online classes and activities.
Staying in touch with friends and family also prevents isolation and allows seniors to connect with the world around them. Plus, they can discover new hobbies online that will keep them active and stimulate their bodies and minds.
The Benefits of Staying Active for Seniors
Helping seniors stay active is fundamental for healthy aging, and there are many benefits to remaining active throughout life.
