loneliness in old age: a growing problem

In the Gotha district, more than 13,000 people over 63 years alone. This number raises important questions: How many of these seniors are actually lonely? Many older people state that they do not need conviviality and prefer to be alone. But whether this attitude has existed for years is strongly questioned.

The Agathe project in detail

A committed team consisting of five women and a man has come together under the name agathe in order to counteract this challenge. Your goal is to encourage lonely people to grow old in dignity and in their own home. The project is convinced that a home place does not represent the solution to loneliness; After all, many people cannot find a connection in care facilities.

The challenges of the supporters

Those responsible for the Agathe project know that there is a difficult task before them. In addition to the possibility of finding neglect, they are also faced with deep suffering. Nevertheless, there are also positive aspects: if you manage to improve the well -being of the elderly and to drive away your sad thoughts, be it a valuable and grateful experience.

a call to support

The Agathe project urgently needs support to continue its important work. It aims to drive out the loneliness from the seniors' households and create a feeling of community. A call from the community to actively participate in this initiative could be crucial to sustainably improve the quality of life of those affected.

conclusion: the meaning of the project for the community

The efforts of the Agathe project not only have the potential to enrich the life of the seniors concerned, but also promote solidarity in the entire community. At a time when loneliness is increasingly recognized in old age, it is crucial to find ways how we as a society can appear helpful and supportive.
