What is StayHomeStaySocial?
As the COVID-19 crisis continues to engulf our way of living, it is further exacerbating the challenges faced by everyone, in particular older adults. StayHomeStaySocial matches dedicated and friendly volunteer Buzzers with members of the older population, using innovative technologies to connect them by telephone in an safe, accessible and innovative manner.
Is there a cost?
None at all. This project is free of charge for everyone. Our team has a single goal in mind: help as many older adults as possible. For free, and for everyone.
What are some of the benefits of participating?
Research demonstrates that consistent socialization by older adults leads to a reduced risk of depression and anxiety, longer lifespan and greater self-esteem. It enhances mental health and intellectual capacity, and combats cognitive decline and various forms of dementia. We have taken these scientific insights and built technology to bring these benefits to millions of older adults, at scale and in a safe, empowering and evidence-based manner.
