How does social isolation impact seniors?
Social isolation can have a significant impact on seniors. It can lead to feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, and stress, which in turn can contribute to physical health problems such as high blood pressure and increased risk of heart disease. Social isolation can also lead to cognitive decline and a decline in overall mental health. Seniors who are socially isolated may also be more vulnerable to financial scams and neglect, making it critical for caregivers and loved ones to keep in touch and provide support.
