As the CDC reports, senior citizens experiencing loneliness and isolation in senior citizens are “serious public health risks.”

Luckily, KOAA News reports a new program is helping senior residents of Colorado Springs combat their loneliness. This program began in January, seeking to help older adults who have been feeling alienated or alone.

The seniors are paired with volunteers who help combat the loneliness and isolation many seniors face. Additionally, each match is tailored to the needs of the individual.

Similarly, Senior Security Alliance is working to help senior citizens nationwide. We are actively working to give seniors more financial security. To find out more, be sure to check out our page here.
