In Home Care in Charlotte

The past year has seen a spike in loneliness for people of all ages. With public health measures in effect, it's easier than ever to see how social isolation can affect anyone. For seniors especially, loneliness can be truly harmful. It's why we've always prioritized companionship and conversation with our in home care services. At Visiting Angels^® South Charlotte, we know that's even more important now.

Let's take a look at what we can do.

Helping Seniors Stay Connected and Comfortable

Prolonged periods of isolation can cause mental and physical health repercussions for people of all ages. It's linked to lower cognition, high blood pressure, and physical decline. For seniors in particular, these health effects can be more difficult to recover from.

With our agency, however, you can schedule regular caregiver services from a trusted, reliable caregiver. It means mitigating the effects of loneliness and providing other essential support:

• Keeping family in the loop. Staying in contact with family and friends can have an enormously positive impact during periods of isolation. We help seniors get online, so it's easier to access emails, photos, and videos of family—and even join in for video calls. For family members, we can keep you in the loop on your loved one's overall care, too.
• Encouraging other outlets. Cultivating habits which are mentally or physically stimulating is a great way to lessen the effects of loneliness. For our clients, we try to tap into existing outlets, whether your loved one is an avid reader or loves to spend time in the garden. Our in home care professionals at Visiting Angels South Charlotte can help them maintain these wonderful habits.
• Providing emotional support. When isolated, it's easy for anxious thoughts and stress to flare up out of nowhere. For seniors in Charlotte, we provide vital emotional support during those difficult times. A friendly chat with a trusted caregiver can help to dispel some of those feelings, so your loved one doesn't feel so alone.
