How to Help a Senior Friend Stay
Safe and Healthy
When
a senior doesn’t have close friends or family living nearby, they can have
trouble staying healthy or navigating daily challenges. That’s why it’s
important to get involved in your community and find out who could use some
help. Along with the members of your church congregation, you can assist older
adults with things like cooking, finding rides, and staying safe so that they
can age-in-place comfortably. Here’s a brief guide on how to get started.
Help Them Get Proper Nutrition
Help Them Stay Active
Help Prevent Cognitive Decline
Help Them Stay Independent
Help Them Stay in Touch
Help Them with Pets
Help Them Get Involved
Helping
the older adults in your community feel safe and loved is a great way to
improve their quality of life, so talk to them about their needs and how you
can help. You never know what kind of change you can bring about!
