Increased risk of dementia due to social disconnection

An estimated $9 billion in Medicare spending is attributed to associated medical costs.

It's time to prioritize social needs of aging and reimagine social connection for older adults.

Loneliness and isolation are sad and  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, their families 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.

Social connection is a pillar of health, as important as sleep, diet and exercise. But, many older adults lack access, so staying social is often a missing link for older adults due to:

  • Infrequent visitation by family or friends

  • Care models that don't prioritize social needs

 

Staying social matters! It's good for the mind, body and spirit. In fact, socially active adults are more likely to live longer, healthier lives.

"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."
