For Older Adults at Home

Limited social visits outside of scheduled medical appointments

Fewer opportunities to independently navigate and engage in local programs
- •
Growing reliance on family members for simple social contact and conversation
For Facility Residents
- •
Social opportunities are often limited by staffing and rigid daily routines
- •
Group activities may not align with personal preferences, hobbies, or cultural histories
- •
Visitors are incredibly important but cannot always visit as frequently as they would like
