Inspired By Sunflowers
Meriatrics provides for the underserved social needs of older adults through direct visitation and companionship, activity, outings and support.
Our services are centered around four essential E-principles for social well-being: Engagement, Enjoyment, Enrichment, and Empowerment. During each visit, clients have the freedom to choose preferred activity, whether it's dining out, exploring an art exhibit, seeing a movie, or running errands!
Inspired by the beautiful sunflower, which symbolizes facing the sunshine while aging, our services offer comprehensive social support with multifaceted benefits, all at an hourly service rate.

To reduce older-adult isolation and loneliness by promoting and expanding direct, widely-available social solutions that increase social access, enhance personal wellness and advance quality of life for older adults everywhere.
Filling a Growing Need
Isolation and loneliness are as bad as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. And, the costs to wellness, cognition and healthcare are increasingly worrisome. If you or someone you love is struggling socially, we'd love to help.
Social wellness is the new frontier in lifestyle medicine. Evolving protocols include patient screenings for isolation and loneliness and social prescribing. Our services complement those goals and facilitate needed interventions.
