Open Up - Sometimes You Need to Pour out Your Woes
“Open Up” aims to elevate the human spirit through meaningful interactions. We are a subsidiary of advantAGE seniors (www.advantageseniors.org) mandated to deal with problem solving of elders and comforting.
Every elderly person possesses an inner spark, often dimmed by age and illness. Our comfort guardians, go beyond the daily care needs to nurture those unique qualities and bring about a sense of hope, connectedness, purpose and most importantly wellness, mental and physical.
You as a senior often times feel lonely, depressed, irritable, lethargic and purposeless. Additionally you have worries of health, care issues, money problems, family matters, and legal troubles. Many a times you felt like pouring out your concerns to someone who listens patiently without prejudice. ‘Open Up’ volunteers are the right people to talk to.
Many elderly individuals find themselves home alone, unable to socialise due to physical limitations. Whether they are in their own homes or in institutions, this involuntary seclusion has detrimental effects. Through this endeavour, we open channels of communication for these unfrequented and sequestered elders via, ‘Open Up’.
