Isolation and loneliness are serious issues for seniors. Over the past few decades, there has been an increase in the number of older people who are living alone. According to National Council on Aging (NCOA), approximately 1 in 4 Americans over 65 live alone.

According to Dr. Roberta Lee, a gerontologist at UCLA, isolation, and loneliness can lead to depression, leading to health issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

One way to help your elderly loved ones avoid these serious issues is by making sure they have someone to talk to regularly. It could be a family member or a friend who lives nearby who can check up on them constantly or call them once a week. This way, they will know that someone cares about them enough to take some time out of their day for them.

Another way to accomplish this is by hiring homecare services like Norah’s Care Agency.
