A helping hand on the 3 things that stresses every senior citizen

There will always be things that stress us in our day to day lives. Eventually, we learn to cope up with some of these stresses but as we grow mature another type of stressor pops up. We can’t and won’t always have the abilities of dealing with these stressors all by ourselves—especially not in our golden ages.

We at Cedargate, know all too well how hard stress is on the elderly. We know its impacts and the toll they take on a person in his/her golden ages. For that, we aim to let you understand the 3 things that stresses every senior citizen and give you tips on how to cope up and deal with them. First, we should understand and know the things that stress every senior citizen.

1. Physical deterioration – It’s a given, we all know it’s going to come sooner or later. How our senses function will more or so deteriorate over time as we age and that’s something that we can’t avoid. We don’t grow accustomed not being able to see clearly, or climb the stairs as fast as we used to or do other daily tasks as fast, easy and as effective.

This causes stress in senior citizens because acceptance is hard. In order to accept, actualization and even counselling can really help in letting a senior citizen understand on what he/she can and cannot do anymore. Another important thing is to be sure to give a senior citizen something to do. Don’t ever let him/her feel that he/she is useless.

2. Neglect and abuse by their own caregivers – Not all caregivers give genuine and professional care. This stresses seniors really bad because they need your care. There will be things that seniors can’t do and these seniors are counting on a reliable, genuine and professional caregiver to take care of them. However, not all facilities provide professional reliable, genuine and professional care. We, however, at Cedargate Assisted Living Facility in Kanell Blvd. Poplar Bluff MO, don’t want you to look any further; we are ready to provide the reliable, genuine and professional care every senior is looking for.

3. Lack of Companionship – It’s the connections we make in life that help us live a happy life. Lack of companionship causes loneliness and depression. The last thing a senior needs in his/her golden age is to be left alone.

In order to address to these needs, we at Cedargate Assisted Living Facility in Kanell Blvd. Poplar Bluff MO, humbly extend out service of excellence to you. Call us now at 573-785-0188.
