☆ How some boomers are overcoming loneliness and finding new friendships in retirement: 'It's been a lifesaver'

While loneliness among older adults has been an issue for years, the pandemic exacerbated it across all age groups. Some experts told me that cities could help counter loneliness with policies that bolster senior centers and ensure accessibility to vital resources and that governments should invest more in mitigating loneliness for older adults. That's largely why Lamy felt compelled to organize an easy way for older adults in the community to meet and talk to one another. What we know is that isolation and loneliness among older people tend to lead to pretty serious health complications very quickly. So there is a real reason for us to try to help older people find connection."

☆ A 63-year-old explains how Blue Zones helped him rethink his retirement plan to avoid his 'biggest fear' of loneliness

Read previewEd, 63, was recently rewatching a documentary about Blue Zones — and it led him to rethink his outlook on retirement. But he's making plans for when that day comes to avoid what he said is his "biggest fear": being lonely. Of course, for some older adults, it's not always that easy. Chris Murphy and Bob Casey introduced a bill in December — called Addressing Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults Act — to establish grants and training for community-based organizations to help address loneliness in older adults. As federal efforts progress, Ed wants to ensure loneliness among older people is a concern that all age groups work to address.

☆ A 70-year-old who finally found a solution to a lifetime of loneliness says the friendships he's made are worth the cost

But when someone mentioned a "senior village" in Seattle to him, he decided to give it a shot. Senior villages are a nationwide network of community-based nonprofits that connect older adults to others in their area through resources and activities. AdvertisementA network of sponsors funds senior villages, and members of the villages can pay from $150 to $425 a year, depending on their level of involvement. AdvertisementMeanwhile, other older adults are working on innovative ways to form connections later in life. Grossman said he's hopeful that the government will take more steps to address the loneliness epidemic and pay more attention to the challenges older adults are facing.

"I didn't have to say anything, but I did," Lamy told Business Insider. As Business Insider previously reported, loneliness can have significant impacts on people's mental and physical well-being. Over time, loneliness can damage a person's sleep schedule, immune system, heart health, and memory if the issue isn't reversed.
