The Benefits of Shared Living for Seniors Living with Dementia

While there are programs and medications that can help treat some of the symptoms, the individual’s declining health and cognitive impairment will continue.

Have you noticed that an older loved one is staying at home more? Perhaps they’re declining social invitations or appearing to have lost interest in activities once enjoyed. If there is little talk of time spent with friends, this may be a cause of concern as well as a potential health hazard. Social isolation in seniors can significantly impact their health and well-being. While it's normal for individuals to enjoy some solitude, excessive isolation can lead to negative health consequences. In fact, a lack of social connection can significantly increase a person’s risk of premature death, similar to those who smoke, are obese or physically inactive.
