Breaking the Silence: The Hidden Impact of Social Isolation on Our Seniors…
At Molèt Health & Wellness, we see how social isolation affects seniors—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. For many, it’s not just about being alone; it’s about feeling disconnected, unseen, and longing for the independence they once had.
Social Isolation: A Silent Health Crisis
Social isolation is more than loneliness—it’s a health crisis that touches every aspect of a person’s well-being:
Emotionally: Many seniors feel forgotten or invisible, which leads to sadness, anxiety, and depression.
Physically: Prolonged isolation has been linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, and weakened immunity.
Mentally: Without connection or stimulation, cognitive decline and memory loss are more likely.
Spiritually: Feeling disconnected from others often diminishes hope and a sense of belonging.
