The Issue
Social isolation among seniors, commonly referred to as “senior isolation,” occurs when an older adult has such limited social ties that there are few places to turn for help or for social support when the need arises.
This trend is expected to worsen in the coming decades as a demographic surge in the elderly population takes hold. Especially at risk our seniors with mobility, economic, language and location challenges.
As a group, the aging baby-boomers harbor even more risk factors for senior isolation than the current generation of seniors and local resources face an increased strain on to support the demand.
To address this significant and crippling social issue a unique solution by enabling local communities to help themselves we believe needs a unique solution.
