Seniors' Communication Hour

Senior communication hours mean a lot to me as an individual and it gives me a deep joy as my passion is to set aside just 2-3 hours a day for at least three days per week or as needed and when possible to give much needed assistance to seniors.
​
Each senior’s needs are different taking into considering their flexibility, acceptance, physical mobility, and cognitive ability to social isolation due to their decline health.
There needs to be a non-judgmental attitude to their altered behavior during their advanced years.
​
Here are a few ways help may be given:
​
-
Mobility
-
Personal hygiene, which includes washing hair
-
Promote social interaction
-
Assistance to medical appointments
-
Help with shopping, whether or not they are able to go out
-
Picking up prescriptions, and so on
​
So, by saying all this, the seniors that I do visit always look forward to my visits.
In most cases, having seniors in the comfort of their own home environment helps to stabilize their mental status rather than being in a facility, such as a nursing home.
