| I’ve been noticing lately that my grandmother gets really anxious when she spends too much time alone. She’s always happier when family visits, but we can’t always be there every day. Sometimes she even calls just to hear someone’s voice because the silence makes her uneasy. I keep thinking that regular visits from someone outside the family might make her feel less isolated. Has anyone tried arranging something like this for their loved ones? |

| We went through a very similar situation with my dad after he stopped driving. He started to feel cut off and would worry a lot when nobody was around. What helped us was finding companionship care—people who visit not just for medical needs but for social interaction too. A service like https://www.tlchomecare.com/ actually offers this kind of support, with caregivers who stop by regularly to chat, share meals, or go for short walks. It made a huge difference in his mood because he had something to look forward to and didn’t feel so dependent on just family visits. |

| This thread really highlights how important human contact is. Even if someone is healthy and independent, long periods of being alone can feel overwhelming. I think it’s something we often overlook—companionship doesn’t have to be complicated, sometimes it’s just about consistency. A friendly face showing up regularly can completely change how a person feels about their day. |
