As we age, our basic needs become greater, we tire more easily and have a harder time keeping up with the usual daily tasks.
The importance of having a helping community cannot be overstated in this situation; not only does it make these potentially daunting tasks simpler, but it also gives us an invaluable level of companionship.
As you get older, you often experience a decrease in access to resources and services. This can be due to physical limitations, economic factors, or other social conditions that make it difficult for you to get what you need.
At Evergreen, we work to create a supportive environment where seniors can access the resources and services they need. We provide physical assistance, such as transportation and escorted errands, along with connecting people to financial assistance and other vital programs. Our staff also works one-on-one with individuals to help them understand the complexities of government benefits and health care services.
As we age, it’s important to stay connected with the community, and helping others can be a great way to do that.
Volunteering your time at local organisations or joining charitable causes are just a few of the ways you can help out. Not only is volunteering a reward in itself, but it also offers a chance to meet new people, develop relationships and stay connected with your community. If you have a specific skill set or interest, you can look for opportunities to use it to help the greater good.
Evergreen provides plenty of opportunities to volunteer through our commitment to giving back. From supporting seniors in need to helping out at food banks and senior centres, you can have a meaningful impact on your community while making lasting connections with people who share similar values and interests.
The ageing process can make us feel isolated, lonely and disconnected from our communities. Participating in programs, like meditation, sports, and more, is an excellent way to stay mentally stimulated and connected.
Being part of a retirement community that offers a range of activities will allow you to engage in new hobbies, or continue with an existing one. This can be a great way to keep your mind stimulated and challenge yourself to learn new things.
Building meaningful relationships can help boost emotional health, reduce stress levels and provide a sense of purpose.
As you get older, it’s important to have people around you who can offer emotional support. Whether it’s other seniors who share similar interests, or staff on hand to support your mental health, you don’t need to live your retirement years alone.
Being part of a safe and welcoming community can be extremely beneficial for your mental health and wellbeing. It will ensure you never have to feel alone, and that help will always be on hand if you need it.
Companionship can provide you with a sense of belonging, which helps to increase your overall wellbeing, reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, and promote healthier living habits.
Having a supportive network of friends, family or peers can also provide much-needed emotional support during difficult times or transitions in life. Engaging with a community of people that share the same interests or have similar life experiences can be beneficial for many seniors. Ultimately, forging strong ties with a supportive network of individuals is an important part of ageing well.
