Helping Seniors Coping with Growing Old

Coping with growing old can mean different things to different people and this depends on a variety of factors like current health, medical coverage, lifestyle choices, finances, and a myriad of other topics and issues. At Love at Home Senior Care we understand the dynamics of growing older and can help you and your loved ones to plan and be able to work through the challenges that may arise in the near or distant future.

For many people, Coping with Growing Old can mean one or a combination of the following list of items:

A loss of mobility due to deteriorating health or other circumstances.
Increased isolation that may cause depression.
The inability to keep up with chores around the house and the loss of spirit and pride that comes from not being able to keep up.
The necessity to rely on family for continued support.
The guilt and helplessness that comes from having to rely on those that once relied on and looked up to you.
Stress and strain on you and your loved ones as they struggle to assist you in your daily life.
Heartbreaking family experiences which are fraught with anger, guilt, and a long list of additional emotions.
Hard decisions that involve changing how and where you live.
An eventual loss of independence and with it the ability to do the things that are pleasing to you.
A loss of friends and possessions which mean the world to you.
Environments both locally and at a distance that are emotionally uncomfortable and lonely.
An existence that is increasingly without purpose.
