Welcome to Meriatrics
Isolation and loneliness have reached epidemic proportions, at great risk to older-adult health, cognition and well-being. Staying socially active is crucial, not only to enhance quality of life, but also to minimize associated risks of stroke, heart disease and dementia.
Our services are specifically designed for older adults who are unable to access meaningful social opportunities. We deliver the personalized social enjoyment they need, while also affording alternative and/or supplemental visitation options for their families.
​Meriatrics! Quality social life for older adults and peace of mind for loved ones.
Serving the MA/NH Seacoast and surrounding areas. Call or email to request a free consultation.

ServiceLink's "Aging and Disability Resource Center" specialize in helping aging/disabled people find "the support they need to maintain their highest level of independence".
Meriatrics is listed as a social resource in the Intervention Catalog of the "Coalition to End Social Isolation & Loneliness", a partner of the Foundation for Social Connection.

An Alarm Is Sounding
The health consequences of social deficits are well proven and quite real. Research shows that prolonged isolation or loneliness is dangerous (as bad as 15 cigarettes a day!) and contributes to increased risks of stroke, heart disease, memory loss/dementia and premature death.
We're Filling the Gap
The benefits of social enjoyment for older adults are huge! Our client-centered services deliver one-on-one social visitation/companionship, including optional activity for client enjoyment and enrichment. Great social engagement for clients and peace of mind for their loved ones!
