Why Engage
We believe authentic relationships are as essential to life as food and shelter. We specialize in pairing seniors with individuals who share their interests to bring more meaning and joy to older adults as they age.
Connection is Essential for Healthy Aging
Unfortunately, as we grow older, it becomes more difficult to maintain the social fabric that keeps our mind and spirit strong. Engage As You Age creates authentic connections that reduce loneliness and its associated side effects. We pair up our older adult clients with individuals who complement their personality and interests to cultivate relationships that are genuine and engaging.
Research indicates that social connection results in:​
-
Increased happiness. Relationships make us happier and more joyful, according to the longest study of adult life.
-
Better health. Studies have found that social interaction lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of dementia.
-
Improved motor function. Seniors who remain engaged in social interaction experienced less motor decline with age.
-
A longer life. People with strong social and community ties were two to three times less likely to die during a 9-year study.
