In Home Care in Tamarac

If you have an older loved one who's struggling with isolation, there are ways you can support them from afar. At our in home care agency, we understand that social contact is essential to overall mental and physical health. For seniors in Tamarac, our caregivers offer comprehensive support to reduce the effects of loneliness. 

With this year's events, it's been tougher than ever for seniors to have social contact. Community programs might be canceled and family members may have to stay away due to social distancing. If you want to help your loved one, here's a few recommendations from Visiting Angels^® Coral Springs. 

3 Ways To Reduce The Impact of Isolation 

Minimizing the effects of loneliness can help improve blood pressure, cognition, and overall mental health. With this in mind, let's look at some ways to help: 

• Get creative about contacting them. If public health precautions limit in-person contact, there are other ways to stay in touch with your loved one. Send them a care package with a kind note. Have a video call and ask them to teach you a classic family recipe. You want to remind your loved one that you care about them, and that you're thinking about them even if you can't be there in-person. 
• Find other ways for them to stay connected. This year, many community events and other activities have gone virtual. For seniors who already struggle with mobility issues, it may be even easier to attend these virtual events from the comfort of home. They can watch plays, stream classical concerts, and even attend classes online. Research your options. You want to find an engaging way for your loved one to spend time online. 
• Set up visits from a professional caregiver. For seniors in Tamarac, there's also the option of in home care services. At our agency, for example, we match each client with one specific caregiver who will always be responsible for care tasks. It means your loved one is always visited by someone they know and trust. In addition to helping with daily tasks, our caregivers are supportive, compassionate, and friendly, alleviating many of the effects of isolation.
