In Home Care in Kalamazoo

At Visiting Angels^® of Southwest Michigan, we provide essential in home care services to seniors in Kalamazoo. Our professional caregivers can alleviate the many physical, mental, or emotional challenges faced by seniors living alone or with family. In doing so, we can help clients thrive on their terms. 

This year has increased instances of loneliness across the country, for young people and older individuals alike. But even before this year, isolation has been a chronic concern for our aging population. It's one of the many places where our agency can help out. 

How We Help To Address The Effects of Loneliness 

Loneliness isn't just a feeling: it's a pervasive issue which can contribute to long-term health concerns. Our caregivers understand this. We can target the effects of protracted social isolation: 

• A decrease in physical activity. Leaving the house and socializing can be an opportunity to move around and stay active. When that goes away, it can contribute to a decline in physical health. We help seniors stay mobile even when they're isolated. We do this with clients' comfort levels in mind always. We can encourage them to take a walk around the house or the neighborhood or to participate in other light activity. 
• Too much or too little sleep. When social contact is reduced, it can contribute to seniors sleeping for far too long or far too little. That may be due to anxiety or depression, which can both add to sleep problems. Scheduling regular visits from an in home care professional in Kalamazoo can re-build a sense of routine, not to mention providing crucial social contact. Both of these factors can help to reinstate healthy sleep habits. 
• Higher occurrences of stress. When people are lonely, stress can occur more frequently and for longer periods of time. Stress can be a particular worry for seniors in Kalamazoo with high blood pressure or a history of heart problems. Your loved one's caregiver can help to get stress under control. Whether we help to identify stress-relieving outlets or provide emotional support during moments of high stress, we can reduce these incidents overall.
