How Caregivers in Tyler Help with Senior Isolation

The US Census Bureau estimates that around 28% of seniors over the age of 65 are living alone. For some seniors this can lead to feelings of isolation. If your loved one has recently retired, stopped driving, lost a spouse, or has limited mobility, they can end up spending increasing amounts of time alone. If you have concerns about your loved one and the amount of time they spend by themselves, the caregivers from Visiting Angels® Tyler TX can help.

Negative Effects of Senior Isolation

As you can imagine, senior isolation can have many negative effects on the overall well-being of seniors. Caregivers from Visiting Angels Tyler are familiar with the effects of senior isolation and they can help your loved one combat them. Some of the effects of loneliness include:

  • Feelings of isolation are known to contribute to poor mental and physical health.
  • There is a higher risk of mortality if acute illness develops and no one is around to help.
