Being socially involved and active gives people a sense of belonging that provides added health benefits. Staying socially active is especially important for older adults who can sometimes become lonely and isolated.
Social activities include anything from dining with friends to playing a friendly competitive game with others to attending a class. Senior living communities with assisted living offer many opportunities for older adults to stay socially active. In fact, a study by the Mather Institute found that 69 percent of older adults believe that moving to a Life Plan Community improved their social wellness. This in turn improved study participants health too.
Being involved in social activities can help stave off isolation and loneliness – two issues seniors may face if they aren’t socially engaged. Social activities help people to build connections with others and improve their mood. Classes, lectures, and concerts are all opportunities to gather with others to make connections and get a mood boost.

Lucky, then, that April 30 is Honesty Day. Honesty can certainly hurt sometimes, but it also takes courage and maturity to be honest in difficult situations. Furthermore, staying honest attracts other honest people to you. When you are surrounded by the truth, you can be your authentic self. The freedom that comes with honesty is worth celebrating!
