Benefits of Home Instead Elder Care
There are many benefits to companion care. Studies have consistently shown that an active mind will remain sharper longer and reduce the chances of an elderly person developing dementia or other mental diseases. Furthermore, many senior citizens that experience depression, anxiety, or loneliness also experience negative health trends because of these emotional symptoms. Activities like: scrapbooking, storytelling, recounting old historical events or discussing recent news items keeps our aging loved ones mentally alert and provides them with some quality time to socially engage with a compassionate person.
