When it comes to senior home care, Studio City, CA families often need more than just help with daily tasks for an older loved one. There may be a social and emotional component missing from seniors’ lives, especially if they have recently lost a spouse or live alone. Seniors are at risk with COVID and have recently been experiencing loneliness or feeling isolated as a result. Family members and other loved ones typically try to call and visit as much as possible and help out with things like transportation to doctor’s appointments and groceries, but it isn’t always enough. Some families don’t even live nearby. Other families might be spread apart and only one son or daughter lives nearby, or the family caregivers might just have hectic schedules that make it difficult to visit and help out. Whatever the reasons, companionship can be an essential aspect of residential assisted living. Studio City, CA area residents can turn to Home Instead for a team of trained, screened, and bonded professionals who bring a friendly and compassionate touch to senior home care.
