“It’s important for caregivers and all members of the family to ensure senior loved ones are included in activities, and that they get regular socialization weekly,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways to incude senior citizens in family fun.

Set Up a Schedule for Weekly Visits – Enlist a qualified home health care professional to stop by senior homes weekly to check in on older loved ones. Health care providers can keep elderly clients physically and mentally active while checking on all aspects of health needs, including hygiene and nutrition.

Do More Than Invite Older Relatives – As people age, they may not be capable of getting around easily. While there is no set age when mobility becomes an issue, family members should keep an eye on older relatives, watching for signs that may prevent them from attending important family gatherings such as birthdays, anniversaries and holiday parties.

Let Them Host the Party – While it’s unreasonable to expect an elderly relative to do all of the work involved in hosting a party or family event, there are a many ways to bring the party to them. Arrange for family members to supply food and have others arrive early to help set up, allowing seniors to feel connected. Keeping elderly loved ones mentally and emotionally fit requires regular interaction. Consider hosting weekly or monthly game nights or ice-cream parties.

With medical knowledge, professional home health care providers offer important peace of mind. For administering complicated medications and care, having trained expertise on hand is invaluable.

Companionship
Seniors are happiest when given the tools and resources to age at home.
Skilled in home nurses are uniquely qualified, professional and compassionate – a friendly face and a dose of positivity in uncertain times.

“Loneliness is a leading cause of depression, especially amongst the elderly,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. She continued, “Having people around older individuals helps them live fuller, healthier lives, and keeps them mentally and spiritually happier.”

Here are three ways an elder care San Diego agency can improve social wellness for the elderly.

Regular Home Health Care Visits are a Source of Human Interaction – For many older individuals, caregivers are the main source of human contact on a regular basis. Without someone checking in on them, many wouldn’t have anyone to talk to. While there are many aspects of senior care that are necessary to maintain physical health – medical checkups, ensuring proper nutrition, assisting with hygiene needs etc., the simple act of checking in on seniors and talking to them is often one of the most important.

Caregivers Get Seniors Out of Their Shells – For many seniors, the beloved home that they desire to stay in can end up feeling like a prison. The home holds many memories – both inside and out. Home health care personnel are trained to identify the signals of depression and isolation, and when signs present themselves, they can help contact friends and family or help them enjoy the fresh air and meet people outside of their homes.

Professional Services Develop the Connections Older People Need When Providing Senior Care – When elderly are separated by many miles from the families they once depended on for social connections, it can be daunting. Some simply have no idea how to meet new people, and at times are reluctant to open up to strangers in social settings.

Home health care nurses help seniors find community services, meetings and events geared toward people their own age, helping them feel comfortable in new settings with new people. When communities offer special senior transportation services, health care providers can help make arrangements to get senior clients the transportation they need.
