ABSTRACT
While social isolation and loneliness affect individuals of all ages and backgrounds, older adults can be affected disproportionately, and are much more likely to suffer from health complications and related healthcare expenses. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted and heightened the severity of social isolation and loneliness, especially for people aging at home, in long-term care facilities, and in nursing homes. This article explores meaningful interventions for older adults, including some that look outside the traditional healthcare sector and in the technology, housing, transportation, and nutrition fields.
