Mrs. Johnson continued: Mrs. Johnson is an 82-year-old widow living alone in her two-story home. She has a history of hypertension, osteoarthritis, and mild cognitive impairment. Mrs. Johnson prefers to age in place and maintain her independence. She receives weekly visits from a home health aide and occasional help from her daughter, who lives nearby. During a routine visit, the home health aide notes that Mrs. Johnson has had a few minor falls recently and has been forgetting to take her medications on time. She also appears to have lost some weight and seems more withdrawn than usual. What is the most effective strategy to enhance Mrs. Johnson's socialization and reduce her withdrawal?

A. Encourage her to adopt a pet for companionship: While pets can reduce loneliness, they require care and attention. This may not be safe or appropriate given her falls and cognitive impairment. B. Increase the frequency of her daughter's visits: While helpful, relying solely on family may not be sustainable or socially enriching on a broader scale. C. Arrange for her to participate in a local senior center's activities: Provides regular social interaction, physical activity, and cognitive stimulation-all of which can reduce isolation and promote well-being. D. Hire a full-time live-in caregiver: This may ensure safety but doesn’t specifically promote socialization or independence and may reduce her autonomy.
