The Problem

The problem we want to fix is the challenges of social isolation among seniors in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Our Plan

Beyond simply recognizing the issue, we aim to implement dynamic strategies that foster meaningful connections and enriching experiences for residents. By tapping into the boundless energy and creativity of young individuals, we can introduce fresh initiatives that resonate with residents. This collaborative effort holds the potential to not only combat loneliness and depression but also enhance the overall quality of life for seniors in these communities.
