Health Management for Older Adults II - Isolation and Loneliness in the Elderly

< i > Isolation and Loneliness in the Elderly

Treatment varies with the cognitive and physical functioning of the individual and the resources available to the individual and in the community
I am going to offer some suggestions, but these need to be tailored to the individual's likes and dislikes, the individual's physical and cognitive ability, and the availability of resources within the community
In addition, asking the person what he or she thinks will help decrease the loneliness -- will help you plan and suggest interventions that the person is most likely to follow through with and that are most likely to be successful
