One of the things we get positive feedback on in our assisted living homes are the social things we do.

"Loneliness isn't simply about being alone -- some people are happy on their own. And it’s not how many people you know or how often you see them, or a bad day when you don't feel connected.

What matters is to have strong connections. Those who do tend to be happier, healthier, and more productive. Those who don’t may feel isolated, misunderstood, and depressed: lonely. It can take a physical toll, too. But you can take steps to overcome that."

Loneliness: It’s not about simply being alone. It’s when you feel unable to connect in a meaningful way with people in your life. Find out from this WebMD slideshow how it can affect your health and what you can do to stop it.
