Can you remember the last time you saw your elderly loved one light up during a great conversation? Or their unabashed joy sharing old memories over a favorite board game? At Visiting Angels in Rochester Hills, we understand that human connection is one of our most important needs, especially in our elder years.

Loneliness and isolation are like silent threats to seniors as they age. Mobility decreases, social circles scale down in size, and our elderly population find themselves with more time alone. Research shows that isolation not only impacts emotional well-being, it can even disturb our physical health and cognitive functioning.

Elderly Companion Care from Visiting Angels offers genuine friendship between caregiver and client. We strive to create the type of meaningful connection that makes life cheerful and bright for seniors.

Signs Your Loved One Needs Companion Care

If your loved one still seems fairly mobile and independent, it’s easy to assume they aren’t lonely either. Unlike those that require more advanced personal care, independent seniors may still be candidates for companion care though they may not speak up about it. Some of the subtle signs you can look for might include:

• Withdrawing from social activity, religious services or community events
• Reluctant to leave the house despite being able
• If they mention feelings of isolation or days pass without speaking to anyone
• Changes in their mood, lack of interest in hobbies
• Household chores starting to slide
• Increasing anxiety about being by themselves

Many seniors receiving companion care benefit enormously from having a local companion from Visiting Angels visit, share experiences and provide assistance.
