According to Medicare Advantage, isolation among older adults is one of the biggest threats to the health of America’s seniors, while it remains among the most difficult to recognize. It’s a health risk not often discussed, but at least a quarter of adults over 65 live with it. And its devastating effects can be felt physically, mentally and emotionally.
