Social isolation is a major problem that aging adults face. Your older parents or loved ones might feel cut off from friends and family at a time when it's most important for them to feel engaged and supported.
Isolation has been shown to increase the risk of dementia, hopelessness, unhealthy lifestyle habits and even premature death. Isolated care recipients may be more likely to be placed in a nursing home and are more susceptible to elder abuse. When you know the risks posed by social isolation, you're better equipped to address the problem head-on.
At Independa, we've pioneered intuitive caregiving solutions that support the activities of daily life and reduce social isolation. Thanks for watching, and have a great day!
