(KJCT) -(Sponsored content)The following is a Q&amp;A with Dr. Andrew Winnefeld, geriatric Primary Care Doctor and owner of Happy Days.Should I be concerned about cognitively challenged elderly staying unsupervised in their homes?Yes, absolutely. Very concerning. There are a lot of elderly that are staying alone because they’re people that are taking care of them or at work and they’re not safe. There’s accidents that can happen. They could fall. Sometimes they forget to turn the stove off. Plus, they’re not being stimulated cognitively, and that’s not good for their health either. What benefits can a senior day program offer?The senior day program can help from a safety standpoint and from a mental standpoint. If they’re with other people, certainly, if there’s a fall or something were to happen, there’s obviously people to help right there. And then mentally, there’s games that can be played. There’s things that will get their minds working. Safety and mentally, senior daycare programs are excellent. How can a senior day program impact a senior’s health?Day programs stimulate people mentally, and when we’re stimulated mentally, we do better and when we do better, we’re healthier. People with social interactions live longer than people that do not have those social interactions, and studies have proven that. </div></body>
