  May is Social Isolation and Loneliness Month

  This May, we recognize Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults Awareness Month, as proclaimed by Governor Henry McMaster. Social isolation can have serious impacts on the health and well-being of older adults, affecting everything from mental health to physical outcomes. Raising awareness is an important step toward strengthening connections, supporting independence, and ensuring our older neighbors feel seen, valued, and engaged.
