STUDY SHOWS SOCIAL INTERACTIONS HAVE MULTIPLE COGNITIVE BENEFITS FOR SENIORS

  1. Social bridging involves access to new ideas, activities and information; it can include meeting new people.

  2. Social bonding is when people have close, supportive relationships with people they know, like family. It provides security and purpose in life.
