We all need to connect and socialize to survive and thrive. Loneliness and social isolation have a negative effect on one’s mental well-being especially the Older Adults who live alone.
Let me ask you these questions:
1. Do you have ageing parents or Loved ones who live alone?
2. How often do you call or visit them?
Loneliness is a distressing feeling of being alone and separated while social isolation is staying away from people.
Every older adult deserves a company that will encourage meaningful and productive activities. Either a formal or informal care worker to interact with regularly.
Here are three (3) ways to stay connected with our services at Rehoboth Center for Elderly Care:
1. Participate in RCEC monthly Town Hall sessions programs where healthy lifestyle education and activities that foster a sense of well-being and belonging are shared. To participate this February, register to attend “VISION CARE FOR SENIORS with Dr Adure Ezeogu Edemeraro”.

2 . Enjoy our Friendly Call Wednesday service where our trained volunteers call to follow up on the older adults. The service is available to anyone who feels alone and wants to have friendly conversations with a compassionate and caring RCEC Team member.
To schedule a call for yourself or your older adults:
Call / WhatsApp +234 7013409154
3. Engage the RCEC Care Caller Team to bring friendship and companionship to your older adults. This service is suitable for those who have little social contact or who would like to make a new friend.
This service is confidential and a paid service. Currently operates only in Abuja, Lagos and Jos alone.
PLEASE NOTE:
All our care team and volunteer members are properly vetted, references checked and given in-house training. So, safety is guaranteed. They are matched with Elders based on mutual interests, personalities and location. The Care Caller Team and the elders are supported by coordinators.

Stay Connected Prevent Loneliness.
