Recipient story
Older people may become isolated. They want to remain living independently at home but may need help from someone to do so
GIVIT
Are you a caring person who likes to help other, especially older people who want to remain living independently in their own homes rather than being prematurely admitted to Residential Care.
As people age they can become isolated and disconnected from the community. This can be because of the death of a partner, family or friend or due to a decline in health or mobility or the loss of connections when they retire.
Quite often other family members are unable to provide the regular assistance that they would like to.
Social isolation can have detrimental effects on older peoples health including their mental health. They need to keep connected to their community and maintain regular interaction with others so that they can have the best quality of life possible.
