The holiday season is a time for joy, family gatherings, and festive cheer—but for many seniors, it can also bring about feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Did you know that approximately 24% of older adults aged 65 and above are socially isolated, and nearly 35% of those aged 45 and older report feeling lonely? These feelings can significantly impact both emotional well-being and overall health.
As the holidays approach, it’s important to remember that loneliness doesn’t have to be part of the season. At BrightStar Care of Santa Monica Marina del Rey, we are dedicated to ensuring your loved ones experience warmth, joy, and connection throughout the holidays. With companion care, your loved one can enjoy the festive season without the burden of isolation.
As the holidays roll around, families want to come together and celebrate. However, family caregivers are often stretched thin between their own plans and caregiving responsibilities. This is where companion care steps in, providing the support and connection needed to ensure your loved one enjoys the festivities.
