Seniors often face isolation, depression, and loneliness as they age, stemming from mobility challenges, cognitive decline, and changes in how they view their role in the family and community. But small acts of positivity can make a big difference in their emotional well-being and quality of life.

When your aging parent has mobility issues that prevent them from getting around, it can be challenging. Being concerned and anxious about their limited mobility and declining independence is normal. Whether your loved one can no longer drive, has trouble walking long distances, or requires a walker or wheelchair, there are ways to ensure they receive the compassionate senior care they deserve.

As winter sets in, ensuring your senior loved one stays comfortable and safe is more important than ever. The winter months are a perfect time to check in on your senior’s mental health—and a good time to consider professional companion care from Visiting Angels.
