Key Factors That Play Into Quality of Life
In 2017, The Journals of Gerontology published a study on the successful aging paradigm and how it applies to seniors with long-term disabilities. The researchers note that many ideas about “successful aging” are focused on preventing injury or disability. However, more emphasis must be placed on improving the lives of seniors with existing disabilities. When you work with Visiting Angels of Schererville, a care coordinator can meet with you and your loved one to create a care plan that revolves around your loved one’s needs. Our home care options can be personalized to improve the life and maintain the independence of your aging loved one with a disability.
Based on input from participants between the ages of 45 and 80, the researchers identified four factors playing a key role in their quality of life. These factors were:
- Independence - always a concern among the elderly, the ability to remain independent allows seniors to feel empowered and in control of their lives. Our services are designed to maintain independence.
- Social connection - seniors who are able to engage with friends, family, and their community report a higher level of satisfaction and happiness.
- Resilience and adaptation - seniors who find contentment and pleasure in daily life and adapt to changes in their health reported a higher quality of life.
- Physical health and health care access - maintaining good physical health and having access to quality health care allows seniors to thrive in the other three areas noted above.
