Caregiver Tips for Meaningful Social Engagement of Senior Patients
Tuesday, December 16th, 2025 11:00 am - 12:00 pm (EST)
This essential workshop equips caregivers with practical strategies to combat senior isolation and foster genuine social engagement. Learn how to recognize signs of loneliness and social withdrawal, adapt activities for varying cognitive and physical abilities, and create meaningful interactions despite mobility limitations or dementia. Address caregiver-specific challenges: managing your own social needs while caregiving, encouraging reluctant seniors to participate, navigating personality changes, and creating stimulating experiences within budget constraints. Explore communication strategies that honor dignity, activities that spark joy and purpose, and ways to maintain connections with homebound individuals.
