Encouraging mental activity is a vital part of maintaining good health throughout the senior years. Just like physical activity is important to many health outcomes for the body, mental activity is important in keeping the brain active and for positive mental health outcomes. Elder services from Comfort Keepers can incorporate mental activities, including social and emotional activities, that help your loved one keep an active mind.
Mentally generative activities might include exercises in remembering by watching family movies, looking over photo albums, or exploring family heirlooms. Your elder services plan might also incorporate games of strategy, creative hobbies like building, sewing, crafting, or storytelling and conversational activities. All of these help to exercise different parts of the brain, enabling your aging loved one to keep a nimble mind.
Keeping an Active Social Life
Social activity is also vital to maintaining good mental health. With elder services from Comfort Keepers, your loved one has not only a partner in planning social excursions but also the safe transportation and mobility assistance they need to access social opportunities easily. Social opportunities might include trips to the senior center or a day center, visits with a neighbor or friend, or excursions to community or church events. Socializing encourages feelings of connection, positivity, and cheerfulness for all of us, and it’s important for seniors who live alone to have regular opportunities to connect with friends, family members, and the community.
If you’re helping to care for an aging loved one who lives alone, consider how elder services from Comfort Keepers can help improve their mental and emotional health while providing for physical needs. Our caregivers can help with meal preparation, linens changing, laundry, medication reminders, and more, and also provide access to the emotional and social opportunities that improve everyone’s quality of life.
