Information from and about Senior Concerns

HomeSenior Concerns

Another organization serving seniors and caregivers!

Loneliness and social isolation for older adults have a deep emotional impact,

sometimes leading to depression and anxiety. Maybe less well known is the profound impact loneliness has on physical health. One study found loneliness had similar health effects on older adults as smoking 15 cigarettes a day!

Senior Concerns focus their attention to ensuring the basic needs for older adults are met. Recognizing that the stay in home orders for older adults will remain in effect for an extended period of time, they have created ways to address and help mitigate the negative health impacts of loneliness and reduce social isolation.These developments are now infused into almost all our programs.
