There is a problem in the world today. By 2030 over 20% of the U.S. population will be seniors over the age of 65. Government authorities and healthcare professionals agree that these older adults will live more healthy, vibrant lives if they can Age in Place. To support the ability to Age in Place, communities across America are banding together to create neighborhood Villages where local volunteers provide simple assistance enabling older adults to remain in their homes. As a result, they are building stronger communities and improving the well-being of the older adults in their community.

An Informative article about mitigating loneliness and isolation in Seniors:
“Loneliness and social isolation are strongly associated with several adverse health outcomes in older persons including death and functional impairments. The strength of these associations has been compared with smoking. Accordingly, loneliness and isolation have significant public health implications.
Despite the adverse impacts of loneliness and social isolation on quality of life, and their strong association with health outcomes, the evaluation of loneliness and isolation have not been integrated into medical care. The risks for loneliness may be of particular concern to persons with serious illness as patients and caregivers cope with the experience of loss, loss of independence, and increasing care needs. To date, there has been no uniform way of evaluating and documenting loneliness and social isolation as a part of a review of a patient's social determinants of health.
This article provides a framework for healthcare systems, providers, and community members working with older adults to understand loneliness, isolation, and its counterpart social connection;”
