Elder Care & Companionship
According to the National Institute of Aging, 30% of American seniors live alone in the U.S., which is approximately 14 million people. With this independence comes concerns that develop as one ages.
Social wellness is a key concern for those living alone. Loneliness and isolation are common. Research has proven that socialization among the elderly has multiple benefits including keeping older adults stimulated, mentally sharp, and intellectually engaged. Additionally, socialization has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
