Westchester home-care-services agency Touching Hearts at Home NYC has seen continued demand from families in the New York county seeking to combat the health risks of loneliness for elderly loved ones during the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic.

From Armonk to Chappaqua, and Briarcliff Manor to Tarrytown, Touching Hearts NYC has elderly-loneliness solutions, and the agency has an answer to fit the situation anywhere in Westchester, as well as in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Rockland.

Whether you are trying to find a live-in caregiver in Scarsdale or Larchmont, or perhaps part-time home care in Mamaroneck. Touching Hearts NYC can match you with a well-trained caregiver across Westchester. And to ensure the level of home care fits your needs, the agency offers an obligation-free consultation.

All home-care services by Touching Hearts help to prevent loneliness among seniors and others socially isolated in their homes by disease-prevention measures during the pandemic, and the free consultation is a simple process that enables the agency to tailor care for the client. The benefits of home care for seniors range from preventing falls and other accidents to preventing loneliness. Service can be provided for just a few hours a week all the way up to full-time, 24-hour live-in care.

According to a recent report published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, social isolation and loneliness pose real and serious health risks for a significant portion of American seniors.

“Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely,” the National Academies Press says in a summary of the report titled Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults: Opportunities for the Health Care System. “A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity.”

In a separate report, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cites additional health risks linked to loneliness as dementia, depression, and anxiety.

The COVID 19 pandemic has played a significant role in exacerbating loneliness for seniors across Westchester and New York by making full interaction with family members impossible due to the high risk of infection for the elderly.

Touching Hearts’ range of live-in home care for the elderly in Westchester and other care options provide companionship, peace of mind, and cost effectiveness. These features combine to present a compelling choice, whether you require 24-hour, round-the-clock caregivers or periodic visits.

The companionship aspect of live-in care or home care at any level can include friendly, topical discussion and mind-stimulating activities for seniors and others faced with the health risks of loneliness.

A home caregiver’s presence adds the assurance of helping prevent falls and accidents while significantly cutting the risk of exposure to infection.

Touching Hearts at Home NYC understands concerns about the cost of a home health aide in New York, Westchester, and other areas it serves. The agency strives to allay these concerns through consultation.
