A telecommunication connection designed to provide support and companionship to older adults is an increasingly vital service. This interaction typically involves scheduled or on-demand conversations intended to alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness, common challenges faced by seniors, especially those living independently.
The value of these interventions lies in their ability to foster social connection, improve mental well-being, and potentially identify emerging health concerns through regular communication. Historically, community organizations and volunteer groups initiated such programs; however, their reach is expanding through technology and dedicated service providers to meet a growing need within the aging population.
