It’s not a good time to be 93 years old, says DeAnn Triboulet, director of the Augusta Senior Center.
Triboulet recently talked by phone with a friend that age who has family and lots of other friends but whose social interactions have been limited for health reasons during the pandemic. Many older adults enjoy even less social connections than her friend, Triboulet said, making it imperative that people reach out to them. In my newsletters, I tell people to remember your neighbors, people you know that are alone, Triboulet said. You can call, you can knock on the door, you don’t have to go in.
