The Issue<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Social isolation among seniors, commonly referred to as \u201csenior isolation,\u201d 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

This trend is expected to worsen in the coming decades as a demographic surge in the elderly population takes hold.\u00a0Especially at risk our seniors with mobility, economic, language and location challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n
