After they’re no longer working, seniors sometimes find themselves struggling to find purpose, because of a lack of direction like in a 9-5 job. Home care services may be the answer to that. By offering their support and guidance, they can help seniors in many aspects: Volunteering, taking classes (a great time to further their education!), learning a new skill, reconnecting with old friends and family via social media, telling your story via self-reflection (as many adults want to record their personal history), and last but not least, helping to develop meaningful relationships.

Key Takeaways:

• Lack of motivation can have an effect on the well being of seniors and risk slipping into a sedentary lifestyle
• Volunteering, taking classes, learning skills, and going online are ways to combat a lack of direction
• Social interactions are important to keep in mind and face to face time can be vital for elderly adults
