The holidays can be a rather lonely time for seniors, possibly more so this time around. Many families lost jobs, businesses, and loved ones due to COVID-19. And the rates only keep rising every day.
With so much uncertainty filling everyone’s lives, how can people (especially seniors) fight against feelings of loneliness and isolation?
We at Thoughtful Home Care, Inc., a licensed provider of reliable personal care services in Montclair, California, believe that meeting a senior’s needs for connection during this season is vital to their overall well-being and health.
Here are some things to consider:
- Are your seniors able to stay home safely?
- Is their home well-heated?
- Will they need help with running essential errands?
- Can you arrange to have groceries or prescriptions delivered to them regularly?
- Do they need their sidewalk shoveled or porch de-iced?
- Are they still able to meet their daily care needs?
- Would they benefit from professional assistance, e.g., home care services?
Making sure that your loved ones aren’t alone and are well-taken care of is the best way to celebrate the holidays.
