Why is Loneliness is a nightmare for the elderly

Loneliness is a nightmare for the elderly

The effects of loneliness and social isolation on older people’s health can be particularly detrimental. Even if you live alone and find it challenging to leave the house, there are strategies to deal with loneliness. 

Thousands of old individuals, particularly those over 75, live isolated and lonely lives.

People might become socially isolated for a variety of reasons, including growing old or frail, losing their position as the head of their family, abandoning their job, losing spouses and friends, having a disability or being unwell.

It’s surprisingly simple to feel abandoned and defenceless, which can result in despair and a major drop in physical health and well-being, regardless of the cause.

If you live alone or have a busy family, having a caregiver visit you in your home can significantly improve your quality of life. As you become older, your requirements will increase, and while your family will do everything they can to accommodate them, sometimes it can be too much.

Caribbean Home Help may send over a kind caregiver to help you and your family with daily tasks and provide you with some much-needed company.

Our at-home care is individualized, flexible, and customizable to match your life. Caribbean Home Help’s professional Caregivers are precisely matched to you whether you need assistance getting dressed and taking a shower, help around the house, or companionship.

Or ask us about our Friendly Companion Calls,  seen below.

Age should be honoured, and everyone should be allowed to live happily, comfortably, and independently at home, in our opinion.
