This is part one of a four part series on socialization for older adults and attracting baby boomers to senior centers.
Like all forms of activity, socialization becomes increasingly more important as we age. From stress levels and self-esteem to fitness and overall health, an active social life directly affects an older adults’ mental, physical, and emotional state, making it key to a longer life.
