Loneliness And Depression In Seniors

Many of us look forward to the day when we can retire and relax without the hassle and pressures of work and raising a family.  The senior years have many perks, but it is important for caregivers to recognize that this time in life can also bring an unexpected consequence:  loneliness.  As seniors pull away from the rigors of a work routine and engage in fewer social outings they often find themselves spending many hours alone.

This lack of socialization can lead to an increased risk of depression (source).  It is imperative that caregivers find ways to engage their senior loved ones in socially meaningful activities and relationships.  This can be difficult for caregivers if they work during the day.  An adult day care is a perfect solution for seniors who need supervision and socialization during the day.  Caregivers can drop their loved one at the center in the morning for a day full of friendship, activities and fun.  Adult day care centers can help seniors find a purpose in life and reduce depression rates.
