Why Staying Social Keeps Seniors Physically and Emotionally Strong

Loneliness is more than just an emotion—it’s a health risk. For older adults, isolation can lead to physical ailments such as high blood pressure, weakened immunity, and even shorter life expectancy.

That’s why Plymouth Inn focuses on connection as a key pillar of wellness. Through shared meals, group fitness classes, and community events, residents stay active and supported. Our on-site physical therapy and wellness activities help maintain mobility, while new friendships nourish emotional well-being.

 

Choosing assisted living in Plymouth means choosing a lifestyle that promotes vitality and belonging. Discover how we help seniors thrive through the power of community.

Keep Your Senior Loved One Safe Online

Is your loved one tech  savvy? 

Can they recognize a scam?

 

You probably already know that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 

 

Our elders are easy targets for scams because they are newer to technology and more likely to fall for common scams and security threats that you’re probably more well aware of. It’s important that you help your elder loved ones avoid becoming a victim by:

 

1.     Create strong passwords that will help prevent being hacked. 

2.     Protect your home network with a strong password.

3.     Use caution when it comes to links. 

4.     Navigate to secure websites that begin with HTTPS.

5.     Use precaution when it comes to social media!

Recognizing the Signs of Medication Misuse in Seniors

Are you worried that a senior in your life may not be using their medication properly? Is it possible that changes in mood could be because of a misuse of medication? Not sure how to spot or talk about best use of medications with a loved one?

Misuse of medications is something that can happen at any age. But the senior population might be at greater risk if they have difficulty remembering proper use of their medication or have trouble reading the instructions on their prescriptions. Misuse of medication, especially pain killers, can lead to serious issues, so it’s important to be aware of the signs of misuse to help spot a problem and act fast! 

 

Signs of medication misuse include:

·      Behavior: clear changes in behavior like mood swings and excessive or unusual angry outbursts. 

·      Fatigue: a sudden increase in daytime fatigue or drowsiness is another red flag. Taking the correct dosage of medication shouldn’t leave a person noticeably loopy in the middle day. 

·      Falls: a series of falls or trouble with balance can be a sign of misuse. While falls are more likely to occur in the older population, if you notice a sudden change in coordination or several minor falls in recent weeks, medication could be the culprit. 

·      Withdrawal: depression or withdrawal from social activities or family may suggest a misuse of medication. Chronic pain could also be to blame for this kind of behavior. Either way, it’s something to address. 

·      Refills: if you’re worried about possible misuse of medication, one way to check is by comparing the refill date on the medication and how many doses are left. If the meds are nearly gone and there are still a few weeks before the refill date, something’s not matching up!

 

 

Learn more about the signs of medication misuse here.

Now that you know the signs of medication misuse, you can feel more confident about checking on your loved one and allowing them independent living in Plymouth. But remember that many seniors may begin to misuse their medication unintentionally! That means that confronting the problem should be done gently. 

 

If you have more questions about medication misuse or managing medications, give the experts at Plymouth Terrace Senior Living a call today.
