Health Tip: Benefitting from adult day care

(HealthDay News) -- Some seniors become lonely staying home alone all day, particularly if they can no longer drive. And for older people with memory or physical problems, staying home alone can be unsafe.

That's when adult day care may come in.

Rotary International offers this list of adult day care's potential benefits:

It's a safe, supervised place to be.
It includes enjoyable activities and an opportunity to learn new things.
It may allow participants to become mentally and physically healthier.
It promotes a feeling of staying independent.
It affords an opportunity to socialize, make friends and get support from other seniors.
It includes regular, healthier meals and snacks.

Don't feel guilty about taking a break from caregiving.

Caregivers who use respite care often tell me that although caregiving is one of the hardest jobs they've ever had, they wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Helping a family member or close friend who has Alzheimer's disease can provide a sense of purpose and great satisfaction. Still, the emotional and physical demands of caregiving make it hard to be a caregiver 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Without respite care -- a temporary break from the demands of caregiving -- you may be more susceptible to the effects of caregiver stress, such as depression, exhaustion and other health problems.
