Seniors are feeling lonelier than ever before.
We’re all disconnected from our social networks and families, but seniors feel that isolation the most. Many are still afraid to leave their homes.
For those seniors who do have support, the caregivers who look after them are also under more stress than ever before. In-person day programs are closed, meaning informal caregivers are having to do more, and are at risk of burnout.

- Provide grocery and meal deliveries—a need that is ongoing.
- Help run telephone-based social programs so seniors can feel connected.
- Enable new and innovative ways to bridge the technology gap with seniors and provide them options for group activities.
