Older Adult Social Needs Fall Through the Cracks.jpg

A Growing Epidemic

Loneliness and isolation are reaching epidemic proportions for older adults.

Their unmet social needs are falling through the cracks of age-related challenges and models of care/support that don't always prioritize meaningful social interaction.

Many older adults receive multiple services, yet loneliness runs deep. And loved ones may not have the luxury of time or proximity to help.

Sounding the Alarm

Research is sounding the alarm that social connections are crucial to physical, mental and emotional health.

Prolonged isolation is known to pose serious health risks associated with premature mortality. Would you believe it's as bad as 15 cigarettes a day?

Most notable is the almost 50% increased risk of cognitive decline. Is it any wonder that dementia rates continue to climb?

Filling the Gap

Filling the social gap for older adults isn't complex. It requires good old-fashioned human connection, enjoyment and fun ... for quality of life.

Our client-centered social solutions are versatile, flexible and affordable, with comfort and convenience in mind.

It's said that an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." (Ben Franklin) When it comes to social/emotional well-being, maybe it's just that simple!
