The study states that the impacts of loneliness are similar in magnitude to the risks associated with high blood pressure, obesity and smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the risks that COVID-19 presents to our aging population, many seniors are currently social distancing even from the friends and family members whom they usually turn to for support. This is increasing opportunities for feelings of isolation,  and many are at risk of facing the associated health consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In light of this, it\u2019s perhaps more important than ever for seniors to find ways to connect with their communities and keep their minds engaged during this unique time of home confinement. Using technology to connect with family and friends, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/blog\/seniors-can-take-college-courses\/\">taking a class<\/a> or attending a virtual service at your house of worship are some ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Salus has gathered a list of some of the resources available to seniors in Orange County to help those who are social distancing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Orange County Resources for Seniors who are Social Distancing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/senior-man-on-the-wheelchair-in-the-garden-of-professional-nursing-picture-id1223262391.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/senior-man-on-the-wheelchair-in-the-garden-of-professional-nursing-picture-id1223262391.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/senior-man-on-the-wheelchair-in-the-garden-of-professional-nursing-picture-id1223262391-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/senior-man-on-the-wheelchair-in-the-garden-of-professional-nursing-picture-id1223262391-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Friendship Line California<\/strong> \u2013 Social distancing has become our new norm, and seniors are searching for simple ways to stay connected. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ioaging.org\/friendship-line-california\">Friendship Line<\/a> offers both crisis support and a warmline for non-emergency emotional support calls. Seniors can call (888) 670-1360 24-hours a day and seven days a week to find support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hello Neighbor<\/strong> &#8211; If you want to let your elderly neighbors know that you\u2019re available to provide support as they social distance, the Hello Neighbor postcard program can help. Simply download the postcard, fill it out and place it in your window. This lets others in your community know that they can count on you for grocery shopping, daily check-in calls, mail pickup or urgent errands. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Great Plates Delivery Program<\/strong> \u2013 Getting fresh meals can be challenging when you\u2019re social distancing, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/covid19.ca.gov\/restaurants-deliver-home-meals-for-seniors\/\">Great Plates Delivery Program<\/a> is here to help. Working in partnership with local restaurants, this meal delivery program offers seniors three fresh, hot and healthy meals delivered daily right to their door. There is no cost to sign up for the program. If you\u2019re interested in enrolling, call (714) 480-6450 for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Digital Library Services<\/strong> \u2013 A great book or informative magazine is a fantastic choice if you\u2019re looking for a way to safely pass some time at home. The Orange County Libraries system offers a range of digital resources to help seniors keep their minds engaged while social distancing. Ebooks, audio books and other resources are available to borrow by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocpl.org\/elib\">the library system&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Orange County Museum of Art<\/strong> &#8211; To support efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, the Orange County Museum of Art is keeping their doors shut a little longer, but lovers of the arts can still find engaging digital content on their website. Virtual programming takes place on Thursday evenings, and carefully sourced fresh content is available weekly. There are many wonderful family friendly and senior friendly activities for all to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monterey Bay Aquarium Live Cams<\/strong> &#8211; There\u2019s nothing like the calm and relaxing atmosphere of an aquarium to soothe your mood. When you can\u2019t visit in person, an aquarium cam is the next best thing. The Monterey Bay Aquarium offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montereybayaquarium.org\/animals\/live-cams\">ten live cams<\/a> daily as well as narrated feedings of the otters and penguins weekdays at 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get Outdoors<\/strong> \u2013 Across Orange County, many parks and county operated beaches are beginning to open on a modified schedule. Getting outdoors to enjoy the sunshine is a great way to stay active and reduce your feelings of isolation. Taking a walk with your family caregiver, enjoying a socially distant outdoor picnic or performing some light stretching exercises on the sand are some great ways to enjoy the outdoors. The Orange County parks operating schedule is posted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocgov.com\/news\/displaynews?NewsID=6586&amp;TargetID=13,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,65,66,67,70,68,69,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78\">here<\/a>, so check in before you head out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone has a need for social interaction, and failing to meet this need can have unintended consequences. During these unique times, find ways to stay connected to your community while you\u2019re staying safe at home. Consider some of these ideas as a helpful starting place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for more one-on-one support, Salus is always here to help. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/blog\/reasons-consider-in-home-care-aging-loved-one\/\">professional caregiver services<\/a> can help you or your aging loved one to feel safer and less isolated at home and supported while out in the community.
