This is a wonderful article, thank you! I just wanted to add that there are a number of internet platforms that help to coordinate the face to face support and social interaction of seniors (and others vulnerable to the effects of social isolation). TYZE is one - it's free (www.tyze.com) and unlike other similar platforms, it's completely secure and password encoded. Also, it allows paid caregivers to coordinate with family/friends, if that needs to happen. We use Tyze for Mom who is 92 and her life is much better for it.
