Seniors and Summer Time

Well, it is almost officially summer, although today feels like it is already here!!

When was the last time you checked on the seniors in your life – neighbors – family.  It is always good to check in on them periodically to be sure they are safe and not in any need.  We sometimes think that the only time a senior is isolated is in the winter.  But if a senior is having some mobility issues – the weather outside may not really matter.

Things to check on might be: is the lawn and yard being kept up; is the newspaper being brought in each day; if you stop by try and step into the home to be sure it feels well air-conditioned.  Often times a senior may want to visit with you – a quick conversation will surely brighten their day and YOURS!!

Sometimes – even with the best intentions and planning – staying at home for a senior may not be the best idea.  If you or they need some assistance in identifying senior housing options – from Independent Living to Assisted Living - Assisted Transition is a great option.  We are local – we are FREE – and we truly look out for the best interests of the families we work with.

Take care and have a great summer!!
