Seniors often retreat from social engagements because of mobility and other health problems. Many of our elderly feel isolated and lonely when they live alone and can no longer visit their family, friends, and colleagues. These negative feelings are what we aim to prevent in our assisted living home in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
As a trusted provider of home care in Minnesota, we know the importance of social engagement to a senior’s health. Here are some of the benefits of being socially engaged:
- Psychological Benefit
Seniors who interact with others and engage in social events know they are a part of a community and feel supported. This increases their self-esteem. Our caregivers can accompany them to their events and activities. - Physical Benefit
Joining group classes for Tai Chi, yoga, and other physical exercises can improve a senior’s physical health. They also enjoy and relate with others as they attend their classes. Our 24-hour staff support can keep them safe as they do their exercises. - Cognitive Benefit
Social interactions keep our minds active. It can help prevent or slow the progress of Alzheimer’s disease and other kinds of dementia.
Heaven Homes Home Care, Inc. has an assisted living facility to help seniors live healthily and well. We encourage social engagement for our senior clients as we take care of their health.
