Older Adults
Christian Care Communities is dedicated to the well-being of older adults, families, and staff. The pandemic isolated our seniors like never before and the physical and emotional effects of loneliness and little stimulation have impacted their overall health. Increased anxiety, hypertension, high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, dementia and life expectancy are all impacted in a negative way by isolation and social engagement. A recognized and documented therapy station to combat these ill effects is the WhisperGLIDE, specifically designed to promote conversation about life, decrease depression, stress, and loneliness, engage family and friends in teachable moments, enhance mood, and overall emotional health, and improve sleep with fewer body aches.
