More Than Money: How Loneliness & Isolation Color Older Adults’ Concerns About Aging
"When we think about loneliness and isolation in older age, our minds often go straight to social circles: who’s married, who has close friends nearby, who’s staying in touch with family. But new data suggest something deeper is at play—our sense of connection may shape how we view everything from our health to our finances."

Three friends, sharing a desire to support the elderly, came together to establish the Chicago Chapter, creating a space for connection, care, and community across generations.
Grounded in empathy, implementing evidence-based approaches, and dedicated to caring of the elderly, the team at Gentle Generations is committed to walking beside the elderly that need us most.
