The declining years of life are often difficult ones. The elderly suffer not just from disease and infirmity – but also from loss and loneliness. The problem is particularly severe for those in long-term care facilities who have no outside relationships. Few people would guess that as many as 60% of nursing home residents in some communities never receive any visitors. Not surprisingly, their isolation often leads to depression, despair, detachment and even premature death.

Senior Connections offers a life-enriching solution. This distinctive program provides warmth, hope and joy for lonely nursing home residents through specially trained companions called Relational Volunteers. Likewise, the program offers an opportunity for community volunteers to enjoy gratifying new relationships with aging seniors who still have much to contribute to the lives of others.
