Seniors In Action
Social support in old age is extremely important as it favors the elderly, protects and improves the quality of life and well-being.
A variety of changes occur during aging, and these changes that appear on a physical, psychological, social level… can lead to the elderly, without almost not realizing it, to social isolation or suffering certain diseases. However, it is essential to bear in mind that we must adapt to these changes, manage them properly and maintain a social life and a link with the environment. In this way, they will be able to age successfully and be aware that it is another stage in life.
Where do elderly people find this support?
Social Environment
This type of support is received from the person's social environment and facilitates the feeling of bonding with a group and with a social network (neighbours, former colleagues, etc.).
Community
CASA is committed to creating leisure and lifestyle programs for the elderly, which will have positive effects on their health and well-being. CASA is a place where older people can meet to socialise and share activities they enjoy.
Intimate Relations
Formed by the people with whom the elder maintains closer relationships (family, friends) and offering a feeling of security, commitment and responsibility for their well-being. The family and the network of friends provide emotional and material support, shared activities or, for example, common interests.
