The Power of Human Connection in Elder Care

Loneliness and social isolation among older adults are serious public health risks that affect a significant number of people in the United States, putting them at risk for dementia and other serious medical conditions.

Research consistently shows that social connection is as vital to our health as food and water. For seniors living alone, the simple act of having a regular conversation with someone who cares can make a world of difference.
