Companion and Homemaker

Reaching the age of retirement generates both optimistic and pessimistic mind set to retirees. In this stage, having a positive outlook means:

• being able to spend more time with family and grandchildren
• having the freedom to travel everywhere
• finally being able to achieve a desired breathing space from work commitments over the years

Meanwhile, looking at the other side of the coin suggests otherwise. Vulnerability to fear of being alone and social isolation have been longstanding emotions for seniors ages 65 and over. There are a variety of reasons surrounding these disagreeable concepts, however it can be remedied as long as they seek for help.

In the United States, almost half of older women (45%) ages 75 and older live alone while 75% of senior men are more likely to remarry compared to 46% of aged women.

Loneliness among the elderly population can be seen as a common occurrence and the following factors can be attributed to illness or disability, getting frail and senile, deaths of spouses and friends, leaving the workplace, feeling “out of place” and losing communication from family members. That distressing sense of neglect and disconnection can lead to depression affecting quality of life.
