Overcoming Loneliness in Seniors: Building a More Joyful Social Life

"Are you lonely? Roughly half of people over the age of 60 are at risk of social isolation. But it’s also possible to feel lonely in a sea of people. Loneliness is an emotion as much as it is a state, and about a third of seniors report feeling lonely. You might feel lonely when you’re physically isolated, but feeling misunderstood can also trigger loneliness. So, too, can one-sided, alienating or frustrating relationships. Loneliness in seniors is rapidly becoming an epidemic with very real health consequences."

"As you age, you may face new challenges in connecting to others. People may move away, and shared interests — children, a job — may no longer be relevant. You’ll have to find new ways to connect and discover new shared interests."

"For many older adults, though, loneliness becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Loneliness damages your brain over time, depleting your motivation to pursue new relationships and eroding your social skills. You may feel less willing to seek out new relationships and then use the lack of those relationships as evidence that you’ll be lonely forever. If resentment sets in, your attempts to reach out to others may be alienating.

It’s a vicious cycle, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Loneliness in seniors is reversible at any and every age. You can build a more joyful, connected life no matter who you are and even if you’ve historically struggled in your relationships with others."

Angel Adult Day Care Center

Bringing Cheer, Comfort, Compassion, and Care to each Participant

"Angel Adult Day Center acts as an alternative or supplement to home care, and an alternative to moving to assisted living or a nursing home to receive care. Our center enables continued community-based living for individuals with physical and cognitive limitations and provides respite for their caregivers. We also offer exercise classes and activities for those active seniors that just want a place to socialize and stay active with their mind and bodies. Our program and activities are designed to include all skill levels that will enrich the mind and body. At Angel Adult Day Center we believe that no two individuals are the same, therefore our staff takes the time to get to know all of our members as we assist them in doing what they love.
