About Us
Welcome to a New Chapter of Community and Connection
Did you know that living alone can significantly impact your health and well-being? Here are some eye-opening statistics:
Loneliness and Health Risks:
● 28% of adults aged 65+ in the U.S. live alone—that’s approximately 14.7 million people. (Source: National Institute on Aging)
● Chronic loneliness is linked to a 50% increased risk of dementia. (Source: Alzheimer’s Association)
● Social isolation can increase the risk of premature death by as much as 29%, akin to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. (Source: Holt-Lunstad, 2015)
● Loneliness and social isolation are associated with a 40% higher risk of developing dementia. (Source: Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care)
Cognitive Decline and Living Alone:
● Lonely seniors are 20% more likely to experience cognitive decline. (Source: Journal of Gerontology)
● Research shows a connection between loneliness and higher levels of amyloid plaques, a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease. (Source: Neurology)
These statistics may seem daunting, but they are also preventable—and we’re here to help.
