The holiday season is thought of as a time of celebration with family and friends, but for many people, it’s a time of loneliness. There are many reasons why someone might be alone for the holidays. This is especially true this year when many people have decided to cancel traditional gatherings to protect their loved ones from potential exposure to COVID-19.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the world, healthcare workers have been rightfully celebrated as heroes for the many challenges they have faced and overcome this year. All the while, these challenges have caused many healthcare workers a great deal of anxiety and stress.
Social isolation is a serious health threat. It doesn’t matter if the person is isolated due to mobility issues, a lack of social relationships in their area, or from COVID-19 restrictions. The fact remains that being home alone day after day is hard on the soul. This holiday season, consider sending gifts for seniors in isolation that help make things a little easier while still being cheerful and fun.
When selecting a gift for seniors, subscription boxes are the gift that keeps on giving. Arriving monthly for anywhere from three to twelve months, subscription boxes can be a warm reminder of your love long after the holidays are over. These days, there’s a subscription box for seniors for any hobby, personality, and budget.
A language barrier can sometimes present a difficult obstacle for physicians, patients, and their families to overcome. Throw in the fact that many different cultures have many different understandings of end-of-life care and it can be even harder to ensure these patients and families understand the truth and value behind these services.
Thanksgiving is a beloved American holiday where families gather together to celebrate with grateful hearts. At the top of that gratitude list is often the health of the people around you at the table.
