Interventions

  • Talk2gether program — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will be paired with a trained team member. The team member will then initiate contact with the older adult(s) to begin 90 days of weekly social calls. These weekly social calls will be mostly unstructured, but supported by resource and conversation guides. At the end of 90 days, if the older adult wishes to continue to receive calls, that request will be accommodated
