GenerationCare

Humans are social creatures. We live with other people, in families, communities and other groups. Throughout our lives we create social connections and networks, and we rely on those connections for support, for a sense of identity and for a sense of self-worth.

These social connections are often disrupted or are substantially changed when people become older. This can have negative consequences. So, how can you help older people around you?

- Help them set a routine
- Encourage kindness
- Encourage or help facilitate socialisation
- Encourage them to get involved in the community
- Prompt them to reframe negative thoughts
