Strong social connections support emotional and physical health at every age.

Join a senior center, faith community, club, or volunteer group. Regular phone or video calls with family and friends also help reduce loneliness.

Pin Tip

Schedule a standing weekly call or coffee date with a friend.

Talk With Your Doctor

This pin shares general information, not medical advice. Everyone ages differently, so bring questions to your doctor and review medications and health goals at least once a year.

Local Help in Ohio

Ohio’s Area Agencies on Aging connect older adults and caregivers with services such as meals, in home help, transportation, and benefits counseling. Call 911 for emergencies, including sudden face drooping, arm weakness, or speech trouble.

Quick Reminder

Keep an updated list of medications, doctors, and emergency contacts on your refrigerator for family and first responders.
