Conditions
Summary
The goal of this early phase clinical trial is to determine the impact of participation in planned social activities among adults 55 years of age or older, who report feelings of loneliness. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * With the availability of a personalized community activity plan, will patients with loneliness participate in two hours of social activity each week? * Will 2 hours/week of planned social activities in the community reduce individual reports of loneliness? Participants will meet with a community coordinator to identify community activities of interest to them and then participate, in-person or virtually, in these activities over a 6 month period. Patients will complete a series of surveys at the start of the study and then at 1, 3 and 6 months later.
