Helping Seniors When They are Lonely

Feelings of loneliness and isolation are very common among the senior community, and these emotional issues can often spill over into their physical health. Studies show a strong connection between these feelings and increased chances of developing heart disease and other ailments. With our companion care, Visiting Angels^® Norfolk, Portsmouth and Suffolk is dedicated to reducing these issues and helping local families. 

Keeping your elderly loved one in a more positive state of mind can have a tremendous impact on their well-being. Having one of our caring professionals around to keep them company is a great way to boost their spirits and preserve a healthy mental state. They'll have daily conversation and interactions to keep their mind sharp, engaged, and active. 

Additionally, there are many other things you should be doing to address this issue. Stay in constant contact with your loved one and remain vigilant when it comes to spotting warning signs. If you notice that they are less interested in self-care, failing to keep up with their daily routine and appear more negative, it's likely that they are feeling lonely. 

You can help not only by securing our support, but also by being there for them and helping them to develop hobbies they might enjoy while alone. It's all about finding ways to minimize the time when they're alone while also making those times more bearable. If it's possible, getting them a pet can also be a tremendous help in reducing these emotional struggles.
