Retired men were brought up in an era where they were expected to remain stoic and look after those around them. They didn't ask for directions then, and they don't ask for help now, to their great detriment.

As their circle of friends diminishes, the social isolation and loneliness they experience can have a tangible impact on their overall health and well-being. Social isolation is linked with; increased death, dementia, depression, and the risk of elder abuse.
