Senior loneliness is a well-documented issue and has effects not only on seniors\u2019 mental health but on their physical health. We believed that we could do something to help this situation. We decided to spread some joy and write handwritten letters to residents of assisted living facilities and care homes. When growing demand for letters outpaced us, we started Letters Against Isolation. Letters Against Isolation has since expanded to serve thousands of seniors in the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lettersagainstisolation.com\/\">Letters Against Isolation Website<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spring 2025 Letters Against Isolation event has ended.
