What does ASS mean in HOBBIES

A.S.S stands for “A Sensitive Senior”

A Sensitive Senior typically refers to an individual aged 65 years or older who has difficulty managing their physical, emotional, and mental health due to aging-related issues such as chronic illness or limited mobility.

Caring for a Sensitive Senior can include providing support with activities of daily living (such as cleaning and meal-preparation) as well as offering companionship and understanding during challenges related to aging such as learning how to manage new medications or coping with physical changes like hearing or vision loss. If possible, it may be beneficial for a family member or friend to accompany them on medical visits in order to ensure that all needs are met without overwhelming the senior in question.

The main risk associated with being a Sensitive Senior is that of isolation and loneliness due the barriers presented by physical limitations and cognitive decline which can make it difficult for an elderly person to remain connected socially both within their environment and outside of it (e.g., via social media). It is important that individuals making care decisions take this into account when developing plans appropriate for the individual senior's condition(s).
