Local elders’ elves help seniors through holiday

Caregivers can help make that list and check it twice!

From hanging the mistletoe to searching for gift ideas on the internet, Elders’ Elves from SYNERGY HomeCare will be hard at work helping local seniors tackle their holiday to-do lists.
These Elders’ Elves aren’t from the North Pole. They’re from the local SYNERGY HomeCare agency, and they make the lives of local seniors merry and bright during the holidays. If a senior’s family can’t step in, Elders’ Elves are ready to step up.
“The holidays can be a challenging time for seniors, and many seniors can feel stressed and unhappy because they can’t get around like they used to,” says Peter Tourian, CEO of SYNERGY HomeCare. “Their families may not live close enough to help them decorate the house or shop for gifts. Our caregivers pick up the slack for our aging friends who can’t do it on their own anymore.”
SYNERGY HomeCare is a national in-home care provider with caregivers (elves) in your area and from coast-to-coast. The company cares for seniors in their own homes year-round but recognizes the need for extra help around the holidays. SYNERGY HomeCare Elders’ Elves will help seniors shop for gifts, wrap presents, write cards and even trim the trees.
Elders’ Elves help seniors tackle many jolly jobs such as:
• Decorating the home
• Shopping for gifts in stores and online
• Wrapping gifts
• Cooking holiday meals
• Writing and sending holiday cards
• And much more!
SYNERGY HomeCare Elders’ Elves can also help seniors become more cyber-savvy by helping them shop for gifts online or connect with family through Skype, Facebook, and other social media platforms. 58 percent of people over age 65 now use the internet to communicate with loved ones – a digital milestone, according to the latest findings from the Pew Research Center.
“With more and more services available online, it is important that seniors feel plugged in and connected. Our qualified caregivers can help them feel more comfortable and safe when shopping on the Internet,” adds Tourian. “Whether it’s help around the house for the holidays or help year-round, SYNERGY HomeCare is always ready to provide solutions for seniors in need.”
