The vital role of community for seniors

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

–Mother Teresa As we age, the importance of staying connected with others becomes increasingly clear.

Loneliness and isolation affect our health and wellbeing, whether alone or as a caregiver. The good news is that there are many ways to stay engaged and build meaningful connections with others in our community. Whether through a friendly phone call, a shared activity, or simply spending time together, maintaining these bonds must be a priority at the top of our “todo” list.
