Senior Buddy
...because no one should have to deal with loneliness, especially our seniors.
Elderly individuals often suffer isolation due to factors such as the loss of a spouse, physical limitations, or a lack of social connections.
We recognize the detrimental effects of loneliness on mental and physical health, and are partnering with senior centers to implement a buddy system- a solution to foster companionship and improve the overall well-being of their residents.
Addressing loneliness among seniors in senior centers is a vital aspect of promoting their overall well-being. We anticipate that the introduction of a buddy system will provide a practical and impactful solution, fostering companionship, emotional support, and increased engagement.
