If Your Loved One Lives Alone in Greater Schererville, IN, Elderly Care Can Help Reduce the Risk of Social Isolation

If you are helping to care for a loved one who lives alone, you and your family probably focus on basic needs—does your loved one have meals for the day? Are they taking their medication? Do they have a ride to their next doctor’s appointment? It is likely that your loved one is experiencing additional changes in their health, including mental, emotional, and social health needs. At Visiting Angels of Schererville, we love partnering with families who are actively involved in caring for their loved ones, and we have the expertise to respond to unmet needs.

Elderly Care from Visiting Angels of Schererville Makes a Positive and Lasting Difference in Your Aging Loved One’s Life

For seniors who live alone, mental and emotional health support is especially important. A recent study found that one in three seniors reported loneliness and 41 percent of seniors who lived alone reported a feeling of isolation. What you might not know is that loneliness and isolation are much more than emotions—they are predictors of health issues. Depression and anxiety are closely linked to loneliness, and long-term loneliness and isolation can lead to heart, circulatory, and cognition problems.

Seniors who live alone are at an increased risk of loneliness and isolation—and so are their family caregivers. At Visiting Angels of Schererville, our mission is to enable seniors to stay healthy, safe, and happy at home for longer. That means we are here to support your loved one’s physical, mental, emotional, and social health, and to provide support for your family, too. In-home elderly care can help reduce all these risks.

How to Reduce Loneliness and Isolation

Companion home care is specifically designed to reduce the risk of loneliness and isolation. Not only will your loved one have elderly care to help with a wide variety of daily needs (like making meals, medication reminders, running errands, doing laundry, or changing linens) but they will also be building a communicative and trustworthy relationship with a caregiver who is focused on their needs. Having a companion to enjoy a game or hobby with, take a walk in the park with, or share a cup of coffee with can be life-changing for seniors who live alone.

Family caregivers can also experience the effects of loneliness and isolation. Many families cope with long distance relationships when family members move or take a job far away. A home care provider can offer elderly care services as well as support, back-up, and console family members.
