Decrease Isolation, Increase Connection
3 reasons why social engagement is vital.
- Individuals with dementia may experience high stress and agitation. Going outdoors can allow for mood enhancement, lowered stress levels, and a lifted spirit.
- Being in familiar places outside of the home can offer a sense of comfort, inspiring feelings of nostalgia, engaging the senses, and boosting well-being.
- Going out into society decreases feelings of isolation often experienced by people living with memory loss.
