How Senior Care in Winter Springs Helps with Isolation & Loneliness

According to the US Census Bureau, over a quarter of all seniors aged 65 and over are living alone. For those who also have limited social interaction, isolation and loneliness can become a problem. If a senior has additional risk factors such as recently stopping driving, loss of a partner, recent retirement, limited mobility, or vision and hearing issues, they are at an even greater risk for senior isolation. Thankfully, there are things you can do to help your loved one avoid the onset of senior isolation. Visiting Angels^® Sanford FL offers senior companion care referrals to families throughout Winter Springs, Longwood, Oviedo, Altamonte Springs, and the surrounding communities. Our network of trusted providers can provide your loved one with the joyful companionship they have been missing.
