Unfortunately, loneliness and social isolation can have devastating effects. They are associated with a higher risk of death in seniors. Feelings of loneliness have been linked to cognitive decline, depression, higher blood pressure, and poor overall physical and mental health. Nutrition suffers as elders living alone lose interest in cooking and eating by themselves. Social isolation and loneliness are major predictors of nursing home placement.
