The holiday season is a time for gathering, celebrating, and enjoying special moments with loved ones. However, for many seniors, it can also bring feelings of loneliness. At Genesis Village, we understand the impact of these feelings, especially during the holidays. Our vibrant community is here to help—making sure no one has to face the season alone.
Understanding Loneliness Among Seniors During the Holidays
The holiday season can amplify loneliness for seniors, especially those who live alone or far from family. Research from the National Institute on Aging indicates that over 40% of older adults experience loneliness at this time of year, which can have serious health effects. Loneliness is linked to increased risks of depression, heart disease, and even cognitive decline. But while the impact of loneliness is real, so is the power of connection and community.

At Genesis Village, we provide more than just a place to live; we offer a supportive, lively community where friendships blossom and everyone feels at home. We host a variety of activities and social events designed to bring residents together and build connections. Our holiday events include group meals, festive gatherings, and outings that foster a sense of belonging. And it’s not just during the holidays—every day is filled with opportunities for our residents to stay engaged and involved.
Our staff and residents genuinely care for one another, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that combats loneliness.
