Helpful Ways to Support the Seniors in Your Community

Peter Brissette • July 8, 2022

While most of us hope our loved ones will be around to support us when we reach our senior years, this is not the case for many people. Seniors often live far away from their relatives. Even if long-distance loved ones are providing support from afar, these seniors can feel lonely and isolated without people around to provide assistance or offer valuable opportunities for socialization. If you want to give back to your community, reaching out to local seniors is a great way to make a difference in people’s lives. Here are some suggestions from Assured Senior Living.

Offer Tech Support

Technology offers numerous ways for seniors to connect with people and engage in their favorite activities from home. Here are some ways to offer tech support to local seniors.

  • Research and recommend devices that will allow them to navigate the internet easily, like an iPad. Just remember to protect it with a good case!
  • Show them how to order groceries and other essentials online.
  • Teach them how to use video chat services and social media to communicate with long-distance loved ones.
  • Teach them how to use a website to find and connect with former Denver-area high school students they went to school with.

Help Out Around the House

Seniors can have a hard time keeping up with housework. Whether you’re good in the kitchen or you have a knack for landscaping, offer to lend a hand!

  • You could even help them hire people to keep their homes neat and tidy. 
  • Cook up a batch of freezer-friendly meals that they can pop in the oven for dinner.
  • Offer to help with general home maintenance to repair or spruce up parts of the house.
  • Help them develop healthy morning habits such as light stretching, hydrating, and meditating.

Make Aging-in-Place Upgrades

Aging-in-place can be much easier—and safer—with a few basic home upgrades. Offer to help a local senior make home improvements to better meet their needs.


Reaching out to seniors in your neighborhood is a great way to lend a hand to those who need it. For people aging-in-place without relatives nearby, neighbors and other community members can provide a significant source of assistance and support. Get in touch with a local senior and find ways to help them navigate the challenges of daily life.
