Recognizing the Signs of Loneliness and Isolation

If your senior parent or loved one is feeling lonely or isolated, they are not alone. According to a study by the AARP, over 42 million people over the age of 45 suffer from chronic loneliness. This is a staggering statistic when you consider that loneliness is commonly linked to substance abuse, depression, and increased mortality risk.  

Knowing the common precursors to loneliness and isolation in seniors is the first step to helping your loved one and can include:

  • Moving from a lifelong home

  • Living alone after the loss of a spouse

  • Retirement and the resulting loss of routine

  • Changes in mobility, hearing, or vision

  • Giving up or losing the ability to drive

  • Neighborhood turnover
