5 Ways Emotional Wellness Benefits Seniors

• With so much attention put toward helping seniors
  stay physically healthy, people sometimes forget
  their emotional wellbeing is just as crucial.
  Seniors face many issues, such as losing spouses
  and being alone too much during the day, that can
  cause emotional difficulties. Recognizing why
  emotional wellbeing is so important for older
  adults can help you make watching out for your
  aging loved ones happiness a priority.

1. Helps Them Manage Stress Better

• Seniors who are already living with depression
  can spiral further downward if they face even the
  slightest bit of additional stress. However, a
  senior who is already enjoying a positive outlook
  on life may bounce back faster. Since stress is
  bound to happen, its best if older adults are
  already looking at the world with a good attitude
  that helps them think optimistically when they
  face challenges.

2. Encourages Better Physical Health
In Clearwater, homecare service agencies can be a
great boon to seniors. With the help of the
caregivers at Home Care Assistance, your aging
loved one can lead a happier and healthier life.
We offer a revolutionary program called the
Balanced Care Method, which encourages seniors to
eat nutritious foods, exercise and socialize
regularly, and focus on other lifestyle factors
that increase life expectancy.

• Emotional wellbeing also plays a huge role in
  overall physical health. Seniors who are
  experiencing negative emotions are more likely to
  get sick, since their emotional states can weaken
  their immune systems. Those who are unhappy are
  also less likely to follow their treatment plans
  and stick to a sensible diet.

3. Provides Motivation To Exercise

• A foul mood can make it difficult to want to do
  even simple things, which can make exercising
  seem like an insurmountable challenge. Seniors
  with a happy perspective tend to want to get up
  and embrace the day. Exercising also promotes a
  more positive mood, which makes the connection
  between a persons motivation and general
  wellbeing even more important to notice.

A professional caregiver can help your loved one
exercise in safety and comfort. Living
independently is important for seniors who want
to maintain a high quality of life. For some,
this simply means receiving help with tasks that
have become more challenging over time. If your
loved one needs help for a few hours a day or a
few days a week, reach out to Home Care
Assistance, a trusted provider of respite care
Clearwater seniors can depend on.

4. Makes Them Want To Live Longer

• Seniors sometimes feel like giving up when
  theyve been unhappy for a long time. You may
  need to check in on your loved one if he or she
  is facing a stressful time thats likely to bring
  down his or her emotions. For instance, seniors
  with new health diagnoses may need to talk to
  their families and counselors to help them learn
  to handle their emotions as they learn to handle
  their diseases. Helping your loved one see that
  life can still be enjoyable and have meaning may
  provide the motivation to keep working on staying
  as healthy as possible.

5. Protects Them From Scammers

• A senior who is sad, bored, or lonely is more
  likely to jump on the chance to get attention
  from anyone. Criminals often seek out seniors who
  are unhappy. A scammer could trick your loved one
  into thinking he or she is a friend and begin to
  find ways to financially abuse your parent.
  Seniors are less likely to fall for these types
  of tricks when they have active social lives that
  foster positive emotional health. If your loved
  one has been spending large amounts of time
  alone, now is the time to connect him or her with
  other people who can serve as trustworthy sources
  of support.

Not every senior has the same care needs, which
means they dont all need the same type of senior
care. You can rely on Home Care Assistance to
provide individualized care plans to meet your
elderly loved ones unique care needs. Our
holistic Balanced Care Method was designed to
help seniors focus on healthy lifestyle habits
such as eating nutritious foods, exercising
regularly, and maintaining strong social ties,
and our Cognitive Therapeutics Method offers
mentally stimulating activities that can stave
off cognitive decline and delay the onset of
dementia. If your loved one needs professional
care, Home Care Assistance is here to help. Call
