A simple conversation can change a life. Loneliness and social isolation can take a serious toll on seniors` mental and physical health—but a caring voice on the other end of the line can make all the difference. That’s why IOA’s Friendship Line exists: a 24/7 warmline offering emotional support and connection for older adults who just need someone to talk to.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹. Research shows that regular conversations through programs like the Friendship Line:
✔️ Help reduce feelings of loneliness
✔️ Lower depression and anxiety
✔️ Improve overall well-being
We’ve explored these benefits in depth in our latest white paper—detailing how meaningful connections are essential for senior mental health. Read more by clicking the link in our bio.

Anxiety is a common symptom of dementia, and knowing how to respond can make a big difference. Alexandra Kaplan, IOA’s Lead Caregiver Coach, shares three key strategies to help:
1. Reassure – Offer comfort and a sense of safety.
2. Validate – Acknowledge their feelings, even if the anxiety isn’t based on reality.
3. Redirect – Gently shift their focus to something calming and positive.
Have you found helpful ways to ease anxiety for your loved one?
