For seniors, maintaining social connections not only improves the quality of life, it improves health. Socially isolated seniors have a 59% greater risk of mental and physical decline than those who do not experience social isolation. Socialization has been shown to slow Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia patient\u2019s decline suggesting it&#8217;s importance to one&#8217;s health and well-being.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong><em>DID YOU KNOW?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The health effects of social isolation and loneliness on seniors is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes per day.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Statistics Canada, 5 million people (25% of the population) who are aged 65 and older, now live alone and over 40% of women over 80 live alone. By taking intentional steps to reduce isolation and reduce lack of contact, overall wellbeing is also improved.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>So, how can seniors foster connection and reduce loneliness?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Social Media<\/strong> \u2013 Facebook, Instagram and other social media sites can help seniors stay connected to friends and family across the country. And, many social media platforms have built-in chat functions, games and other features that foster connection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Togetherness Activities<\/strong> \u2013 For older adults, planning activities reduce the lack of contact. This can be in-person, when possible, or through video chat and phone calls. Virtual or in-person activities can include good conversation, cooking and eating together, reading together, playing games, scrapbooking, or listening to music. And, studies show that planning and looking forward to an event can have mental health benefits too!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Online Interaction<\/strong> \u2013 Seniors may enjoy virtual meetups, online worship services, Facebook trivia nights, virtual communities focused on hobbies, and other online activities that can help people connect to others in their community without leaving home. For those who can go out, sharing hobbies and activities with others can bring joy and connection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Virtual Volunteers<\/strong> \u2013 For seniors looking for a sense of purpose, there are opportunities to volunteer to help others from the comfort of home. This can include building Easter baskets for children\u2019s charities, sewing quilts for shelters, writing cards for military service members overseas and other activities that allow people to do good work in their free time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Related Article:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/winnipeg\/blog\/seniors-and-the-positive-impact-of-social-media\/\">Seniors and the Positive Impact of Social Mediawho<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Isolation and loneliness can be signs that a senior lacks the support and tools needed to live a healthy, independent life.
