Explanation:
Obviously the most effective way to combat loneliness for older people is for them to spend more time with other people. This might be getting in touch with old friends, seeing family members more, or making new friends. But it isn’t always as simple as that.
Keeping in touch with old friends can be tricky if neither the person in question nor their friends aren’t able to get around very easily. Lack of transport or lack of mobility can be a huge factor in elderly people experiencing loneliness. However, although it is not ideal, there is always the telephone – a chat with an old friend on the telephone might not be the same as seeing them in person, but it is still better than not nearing a voice at all. If both people are adept with technology then the internet is great way to stay in touch, using video chats such as Skype or via Facebook to see as well as speak to people. If you aren’t able to get around but your friends still are then why not invite them around for a cup of tea – don’t just wait for them to invite themselves or to turn up, as often people will not like to invite themselves. Family members could also help to take elderly people to visit their old friends, and if they haven’t got time or don’t live nearby then our companions are always more than happy to help by taking people to visit their friends.
