How We Help With Isolation

People are inherently social creatures. When social outlets go away, it can have an overall impact on health and well-being. That's one of the reasons in home care services can be so impactful. For seniors in Richmond, social isolation is a serious concern. Through empathetic home care, Visiting Angels^® Sugar Land can make sure our clients get regular and familiar social contact. 

Let's review how seniors get isolated—and how home care can make a difference. 

Why is Isolation So Common For Seniors in Richmond? 

Across the country, older family members are at greater risk of experiencing isolation and alienation. That's true in Richmond, too. If you have an aging loved one, here are a few factors that can worsen their situation: 

• Loss of a loved one. It's all too common for seniors to experience the loss of a loved one, especially a spouse. This experience can be incredibly devastating and isolating. Your family member may struggle to forge social connections without their spouse. They may simply miss out on the regular, casual social interactions that come with living together. Home care can help to slowly re-establish a sense of normalcy and casual social contact. 
• Reduced social network. Retirement can feel like an exciting prospect, but it can come with a lot of drawbacks for seniors. Work can provide strong routines, a sense of purpose, and frequent social interactions. For older family members, trying to re-create these benefits at home can be a struggle. In home care services can help to build a sense of structure, while a caregiver can encourage your loved one in Richmond to explore meaningful activities. 
• Health problems. The physical and mental health challenges that come with aging can be wide-ranging, and these difficulties can come with frustration, anger, and shame. It's sadly very common for seniors with health problems to withdraw from friends and family. Having professional care in place can help seniors regain a sense of control, which can in turn help them re-engage in social activities.
