The importance of being independent for seniors is twofold. Independence is sometimes the only thing seniors may feel they can control as certain aspects of their life change with age. Additionally, maintaining independence promotes a sense of achievement that for many seniors generates a great sense of self-worth and well-being.
Oftentimes, seniors are able to live independently with little to no help at all, where as some need some assistance due to physical or mental limitations and that’s where we come in. We understand that in order to maintain true levels of independence, it is important for seniors to be involved in their own care. One of the main benefits of promoting independence in elderly people in care settings is to create a sense of achievement and pride in their accomplishments. Independent activities, responsibilities and routines allow the individual to feel like they have a purpose to each day and relieves the feeling of dependence on others.
