As the senior population continues to grow, more older adults are choosing to remain in their homes rather than move to assisted living or nursing facilities. While aging in place offers many benefits, it also presents challenges – most notably, the risk of loneliness, isolation, and depression.

The Silent Epidemic of Senior Loneliness

Studies show that social isolation and loneliness can have devastating effects on seniors’ physical and mental health. Issues may include cognitive decline, heart disease, stroke, and even premature death.

Yet, despite these risks, many home care providers fail to address the emotional and psychological needs of their clients. Instead, focusing solely on completing a checklist of duties without considering the person behind the care plan. At Talem Home Care, we recognize that an effective care approach must nurture not just the body but also the mind and spirit.

Choosing the Right Home Care Agency

Among the normal questions like cost, minimum number of hours required, and caregiver training, there are many other factors that most people do not think about.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing an Agency

• Do they have a program to combat Loneliness, Isolation, and Depression
• Does the agency serve as a community resource?
• Do they volunteer or give back?
• Do they have Certified Senior Advisors® on staff?
• Do they conduct home safety and fall prevention evaluations?
• Does the agency help connect clients to additional services?
• Does the agency provide evidence-based transitional care?
• How do they ensure continuity of care after hospitalization or rehab?
