How Caregivers in Round Rock Help with Senior Isolation

Senior isolation is a growing problem with negative consequences for elderly adults. The US Census Bureau reports that over a quarter of all seniors aged 65 and over are living alone. For some, this can lead to feelings of isolation, or even depression. If you have an elderly parent or family member who lives alone you may have concerns about the amount of time they spend alone. Whether your loved one spends much of their time alone due to limited mobility, retirement, driving cessation, or loss of a partner, Visiting Angels® Georgetown TX can help. Our caregivers assist seniors throughout Round Rock, Austin, Briarcliff, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, and the surrounding communities.
