I don't understand why you are getting down voted. You are dead on.

My wife worked with geriatrics. She directly saw the impact of having friendly people around the elderly. Even if you aren't visited by your family, any visitors can help. The pandemic made this especially difficult. My wife worked to overcome this: she partnered with a local "sniff" (think: old people left the hospital, but they need some help before they go home, so they go to an old-people hotel) to have fun events where people from our church would visit the elderly and just have fun.

Please visit the old people in your life.
