Engaging Seniors
Enriching the lives of our senior population
Engaging Seniors Corporation is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is dedicated to enriching the lives of otherwise healthy seniors, combating loneliness, isolation, and depression.
Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of our older population. Social isolation costs the Medicare program $6.7B in additional spending every year.
Loneliness increases the risks and raises the vulnerability to mental health illnesses like depression and suicide. Social isolation significantly increases a person’s risk of premature death, from all causes; it is associated with 50% increased risk of dementia; 29% increased risk of heart disease and 32% increased risk of stroke. www.NIH.gov
Our focus is to go beyond simply the giving of goods, or occasional home visits, that while important are not enough. We are working with seniors to enable them to thrive; involving them in community events, creating opportunities for them to share their stories, skills, and hobbies – creating a network of seniors helping seniors.
Donations will fund our innovative programs and initiatives that will directly benefit the senior population. Our key areas include:
Senior Support Services: providing essential support services, including but not limited to transportation, meal delivery, in-home care and other wellness programs. Essential services are vital to maintain independence and quality of life.
Community Events: organize regular community events and activities specifically designed to bring seniors together, create meaningful connections and combat social isolation.
Technology and Innovation: recognizing the importance of leveraging technology to enhance the lives of seniors, we will invest in technological solutions that promote connectivity, access to information and virtual engagement opportunities for seniors, particular for those that are mobility restricted or live in rural areas.
By supporting Engaging Seniors, you will be contributing to the well-being of seniors and creating a more compassionate and inclusive society.
We firmly believe that every senior deserves to age with dignity and purpose and with your help, we will turn this belief into a reality.
