Stay Healthy and Stop Holiday Loneliness with Elderly Care in Brookfield, WI

If you suspect your loved ones may be starved of social connections, either over the holidays or anytime in the new year, our elderly care teams are here to help.

Read on to learn a few ways we’re helping to reduce the risks of social isolation and holiday loneliness in Brookfield, WI, or call (262)-439-8616 to speak directly with an elderly care coordinator in your community.

If you worried about your loved one’s social wellbeing over the 2022 holiday season, you weren’t alone.

According to the AARP’s Holiday Season report, more than 4 out of 10 (41%) of survey respondents indicated that they had concerns “about a family member or friend feeling lonesome” over the holidays.

Unfortunately, research suggests these worries were justified, as more than 1 in 3 seniors reported feeling lonely during the holidays. And with multiple studies now referring to prolonged loneliness as “the new smoking,’ with negative impacts equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, one thing is certain: Brookfield seniors need social support, even if you can’t be home for the holidays.

Of course, loneliness is not limited to the holidays. And with COVID-19 concerns still fresh on the minds of many Wisconsinites, 2022 was particularly fraught. Older women were most impacted, with those aged 65 to 74 experiencing a 67% increase in loneliness during the pandemic, according to one study by Simon Fraser University’s Gerontology Research Center. Older men experienced a 45% increase in loneliness over the same period.

If your loved ones are experiencing increased or prolonged loneliness, either over the holidays or anytime during the year, you need to take action, and our elderly care team is here to help.
