Or a walk around the block? Or just a cup of coffee at your local coffee shop? Friendships make up a huge foundation of who we are. The relationships we develop throughout our life help shape who we are; our interests, our likes and dislikes, and guide us to grow into new phases of our life.\r\n

\"Alzheimer's

Alzheimer’s Care Roswell SC – Social Isolation, Loneliness, and Cognitive Decline<\/p><\/div>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nSo, what happens to those relationships as we age? Well, the older we get the more friends and loved ones we see pass away. They move to other cities and states to live with their children or move to senior living communities for additional assistance and the ability to socialize with others.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nAs older adults see their social lives change, this creates the risk of increased social isolation and loneliness. A report published in the Journal of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease discusses how participation in social activities can help defend against cognitive decline, particularly for those living in long-term care communities.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nA summary of the report can be found in an article featured in McKnight\u2019s Long-Term Care News.\r\nTo see the full report that was published in the Journal of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease along with another featured in The Gerontologist, please use the links listed below.\r\n
