Regardless of age, individuals must lead fulfilling lives that promote physical and mental wellness. However, older adults may face limited eyesight, social isolation, mobility limitations, and memory impairments that can hinder their enjoyment of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>#DYK &#8211; More than 1.8 million Canadians over 60 years of age are living with a mental health problem or illness. May is #MentalHealthAwareness month and Comfort Keepers Edmonton is here to share important information about depression in seniors.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is it important for seniors to focus on their mental health?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Socially isolated seniors have a 59% greater risk of mental and physical decline than those who do not experience social isolation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/ebauer\/2021\/07\/15\/the-loneliness-epidemic-among-the-elderly-may-not-be-what-it-seems\/\">Forbes<\/a>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The health effects of social isolation and loneliness on seniors are equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes per day (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/\">AARP.org<\/a>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depression in the elderly is associated with an increased risk of cardiac diseases and risk of death from illness (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/depression\/depression-elderly\">WebMD<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indicators of depression among older adults may include altered demeanour, social withdrawal, decrease in body weight, exhaustion, or decreased enjoyment of previously pleasurable pastimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are a few suggestions about home care for seniors with depression and what can be done to get started with healthy habits:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Exercise <\/strong>\u2013 Consult a physician before beginning any form of physical activity or fitness regimen. Those deemed able and cleared to exercise may experience improved physical and mental well-being. Studies have shown that exercise can have a beneficial impact on the brain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connection <\/strong>\u2013 Throughout all stages of life, numerous individuals derive pleasure from being in the company of their loved ones. For older adults who face limitations in mobility or cannot drive, as well as those with distant relatives, social isolation can pose a challenge. Nevertheless, services that can aid in overcoming these obstacles, such as transportation assistance, in-home care support, and technology promote connectivity. Seeking external sources of aid can also be beneficial.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Volunteering <\/strong>\u2013 Participating in volunteer work allows individuals to utilize their skills and contribute to the community, giving a sense of direction and satisfaction. Numerous organizations offer specialized programs and opportunities for older adults.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spending time on joyful activities<\/strong> \u2013 Everyone has a unique interest or activity that brings them joy, such as music, art, dance, gardening, or games. Seniors benefit from activities in their daily routines to enhance their overall well-being.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
