Project Overview

Research indicates that as many as 43% of older adults living in the community feel socially isolated. The negative effects are well documented: depression, stress, functional decline and death. Our web-based Connections platform helps seniors to interact comfortably online with family, friends, caregivers, and organizations for better support and connectedness.
