Meriatrics is re-imagining social engagement, enjoyment and enrichment for older adults!
Staying social is
fundamental
to wellness, cognition and quality of life!
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. Meriatrics is working to help change all that, through singularly-focused social support services that meet older adults where they are for greater life enjoyment.
We Deliver Social Access
Social connection is a recognized pillar of wellness, as important as diet, sleep and exercise. But many older adults lack social access! Our services are specifically designed to foster increased social connection through private visitation/companionship, enjoyable activity, enriching experiences and support delivered directly, conveniently, flexibly and affordably.
Focused social support minimizes barriers of aging that contribute to loneliness, isolation, depression and decline.
Risk factors common to aging create significant barriers for older adults, limiting the social enjoyment they want and need. Our supportive solutions help to increase social connection, enhance emotional well-being, and improve quality of life through services that are:
-
100% socially immersive
-
Fully client-focused
-
Personalized to individual needs
-
Responsive to client interests
-
Practical, flexible & convenient
-
Entertaining & enriching
-
Helpful to families & caregivers
Isolation & Loneliness Are Dangerous
Relationships are vital to emotional well-being, better health outcomes, even survival. But rates of isolation and loneliness are climbing, along with health risks (i.e., obesity, stroke, heart disease, dementia and premature death) and associated medical costs estimated at some $6.5 billion per year (U.S. National Institutes of Health/Aging).

Meriatrics is a N.H. licensed (#10415) In-Home Provider of social support services and a participating agency in New Hampshire's ServiceLink Aging & Disability Resource Center.
We also support raising public awareness about organizations that offer resources for older adults and/or advocate for reducing social isolation and loneliness. If you, your business or organization has an overlapping mission and a collaborative idea for consideration, feel free to reach out.
Social connection is a missing link for many older adults because it's never truly fit into traditional care models. Is it any wonder dementia rates are on the rise?
