S2:E4 Assisted Living Director Tawnya Williams-Christensen sorts out Isolation solutions and Why it is Critically Important as we Age

S1:E4

Episode With Hosts Lydia Wietsma, NextHome Elite Realty, and Sheryl Keeme, Neighbors Who Care

One concern today: Isolation. It’s healthier to smoke 15 cigarettes a day and be an alcoholic than to isolate yourself. Tawnya said the things we did during COVID were not our best choices, so isolation has been brought more to the fore since then. Her learning of isolation came through mandates when she became a warden forcing people to stay in places they did not want to be. Socialization must happen for 7 to 21 hours a week to simply exist. For children and elderly, attaining this can be difficult. Zoom or Facetime is better than nothing, but as we are connected in person, our immune system becomes stronger when we are physically together. Tawnya gives helpful action steps to connect, and volunteering is one of them. Sheryl also piggy-backed on Tawnya’s message to share how flexible volunteering with Neighbors Who Care is.
