Connect2Affect — addressing isolation in older adults
A free self-assessment plus local resources for adults 50+ who are feeling cut off.
AARP Foundation4 min read
Connect2Affect screens for the kinds of isolation that older adults often don't name out loud — losing a spouse, retiring, losing the ability to drive — and points to friendly-caller programs, volunteer roles, and transportation services nearby.
Useful for the adult child of an aging parent as much as for the older adult themselves.
