Communication helps improve quality of life for aging relatives!
We hear story after story of how our caregivers have brightened the lives of our clients and we are delighted that our clients are developing friendships with their care providers.
Talking it out!
Living by themselves after a spouse has passed away tends to be lonely. Studies show that having someone to talk with benefits a person’s quality of life in many ways:
Sharing your concerns and even discussing them with someone else helps you process your emotions and feelings. This is particularly important for dementia patients as recalling the past helps to keep the mind sharp. As they talk about their experiences and emotions it helps to put things into perspective or help them to see a situation in a way they might not have considered before.
Conversation also helps to release tension that worry can cause. Getting things off your chest by talking about them physically releases tension in the body, promotes relaxation, and overall mental clarity. Maintaining a personal connection with someone who cares about you is an excellent way to relieve stress. Our clients often find a close confidant and friend within our caregivers.
Our caregivers aren’t only providing practical help around the home such as retrieving mail, cleaning dishes, helping with laundry. Through speaking with your loved one and engaging them in conversation they often help clients who are impacted by depression and anxiety often follow the loss of a loved one. When a person is feeling down, it’s easier for good eating habits and cleaning to go out the window which often contributes to the feelings of stress, loneliness, and worry. The relationships our caregivers establish with our clients are often beneficial as they can help to bring light and joy back into a home.
