As a physician who cares for older adults in Las Vegas, I see the profound impact that social isolation and loneliness have on our seniors. Those feelings can become even more pronounced as Valentine’s Day takes center stage, a difficult reminder of lost spouses and loved ones. This February, we can help Las Vegas’ seniors by honoring Random Acts of Kindness Week (Feb. 12-18) — which coincides with Valentine’s Day – as an opportunity to connect with the older adults in our lives. It could make a real difference to their health and well-being.
