How can we keep the elderly living alone from being lonely and isolated?

1. Regular phone calls or video chats: Contacting the elderly on a regular basis can make them feel noticed and cared for. Even if you can't be with them, they can hear your voice and see your face through phone calls or video chats, which can ease their loneliness.

2. Spend time with them: Spending as much time as possible with the elderly can help them feel less lonely. You can arrange to visit them a few times a week, help them with their shopping, watch TV or go for a walk together, and so on.

3. Participate in social activities: Encourage seniors to participate in social activities, such as senior clubs, square dances, volunteer activities, and so on. These activities allow them to make new friends and expand their social circle.

4.

Hanging up photos: Hanging up family photos or group photos of relatives and friends in the rooms of the elderly can make them feel the presence of family members and remind them of those good memories.

5. Arrange some fun activities for them: For example, buy them some books, games, puzzles, etc. These activities can help them keep their minds sharp and give them something to do.

In short, to keep the elderly from feeling lonely, we need to give more time and care, keep in touch with them and give them interesting activities.
