Social isolation is a major issue among seniors. It’s one of the top reasons they end up in assisted living facilities, which can be an expensive and traumatic experience. The good news is that there are several ways to prevent social isolation:
-
Be aware of their daily schedules and make sure they have plenty of opportunities to get out into the community and interact with others.
-
Encourage them to stay active. Engaging in physical activity is great for seniors because it keeps their minds sharp and helps prevent depression or other mental health problems like Alzheimer’s disease.
-
Make sure they have regular contact with friends or family members who live nearby.
-
If they don’t have any friends or family nearby who can help them stay connected, consider hiring a companion or caregiver services who will be able to spend time with them regularly.
