How can you stay healthy, happy and mentally sharp as you age? An increasing body of research points to the need for an active social life.

But it can be challenging to stay socially active in your senior years. You may lose old friends and find it tough to make new ones. Physical limitations or a medical condition can make it hard to get out and about. It’s easy to become isolated — and that comes with some significant risks to your emotional, mental and physical health.

Socializing can improve or even prevent many of these conditions. And often, for seniors living on their own, one of the best ways to ensure an active social life is moving to a retirement community — one like Primrose where you will find a strong focus on social interaction.

The evidence isn’t just anecdotal. Here’s what studies have shown.

So what are the differences between these minor memory lapses and the signs of serious cognitive decline caused by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia? Here’s a simple guide.
