We are here to help you stay social, sharp, & supported
We have all experienced moments of loneliness, but older adults are at higher risk for loneliness due to decreasing mobility, health changes, and loss. Whether you are new to living alone or finding that your current routine is leaving you feeling isolated, Manana Helpers are available to keep you or your loved one company. They can accompany you on errands or to events, play games, arrange activities, or just spend time chatting with you.
Time Magazine states that “more than a third of adults over 45 are lonely, according to a new report from the AARP Foundation.” and “loneliness and social isolation are linked to a range of health issues.”More social contacts and interactions in person are important for reducing loneliness. Of course, this is easier to achieve with an existing robust social network however, even when one does not exist, reaching out to others will offer many of the same benefits.
The National Institute of Aging suggests that one of the health issues that may be related to loneliness is brain health, such as poorer cognitive function or dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
“Too little social activity and being alone often may make it more difficult to perform everyday tasks such as driving, paying bills, taking medicine, and cooking.”
