Our Mission

To reduce the isolation of seniors residing at home, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living residences and medical facilities through the use of communication devices.

The Problem

“Social isolation is a growing health crisis. Despite its name, it is in plain view and begs attention. With the growing number of older persons at risk, health professionals and caregivers should be alert to identify and respond to symptoms. Eradicating social isolation is within our reach. Doing so can save lives. Because of its overwhelming negative effects, eradicating social isolation is one of the 13 grand challenges identified by the profession of social work. Current research recognizes that social isolation is well documented for its detrimental effects on health and well-being across the life span. Researchers suggest that up to 50% will experience social isolation or loneliness for older persons. These data support the importance of increasing awareness of social isolation to intervene and increase older persons’ quality of life across different cultures.”
