As a doctor who has devoted his medical career to caring for geriatric patients, let me tell you a story about a patient I knew.

Day after day, she sat alone in her apartment, half-tuned to the TV. Her children lived several states away. She could not drive. There were times when she didn’t speak to another human for days. Sometimes she went weeks without a hot meal. This lonely, isolated woman— and many others like her — broke my heart and are the reason why I decided in to form a non-profit in 2012 called Connections at Home.

Based upon my patients stories, I could see the need was dire to help these seniors and the need remains just as critical today.  Connections at Home New Jersey offers a dedicated team of social workers and specially adapted technology that  addresses food insecurity, housing instability and the devastating effects of social isolation, and has dramatically improved the lives of thousands of seniors and provided peace of mind to their  relatives and friends.
