Loneliness and isolation in aging are dangerous

The social needs of older adults have long been undervalued and underserved, contributing to epidemic loneliness and isolation, rising dementia rates, and growing health risks.

 

The evidence is unequivocal, and the costs to older adults, personal well-being and the healthcare system at large are unsustainable.

Staying social isn't just for fun; it's fundamental to wellness and brain health, especially as we age.

Staying social is good for the mind, body and spirit, and new learning is great for the brain!

Social connection is a pillar of health, as important as sleep, diet and exercise and impacting longer, healthier lives. But many older adults lack social access due to:

  • Barriers of aging & risk factors

  • Infrequent visitation by family/friends

  • Care models that don't prioritize social needs

"We’re grateful to have found you… Mom didn’t like the idea of having someone come in, but you won her over. Just having someone to share a meal with makes a big difference. Thank you."
