Deteriorating health can be debilitating, but many elderly people also fall victim to loneliness, boredom and social isolation – particularly if they’re stuck behind high walls in the suburbs, nursing a spouse, or no longer able to drive.  Recent studies have shown that socially-connected people live an average of 3.7 years longer than those who aren’t, and that reclusive people have a higher mortality rate than those affected by obesity or physical disability.

At Evergreen Lifestyle, we are well aware of the impact that friendship and human interaction have on our residents, which is why we invest so much time and effort building happy communities and facilitating social connectedness at all of our villages across the country.
