Why is it important for seniors to have fun?

Entertaining elderly people helps to combat loneliness, maintain cognitive function, promote social interaction, and overall improve their quality of life by providing stimulating activities and a sense of engagement, especially for those who may have limited mobility or social connections due to their age.

Research has shown that older adults with an active lifestyle: Are less likely to develop certain diseases. Participating in social activities may lower risk for developing some health problems, including dementia, heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer. Being involved in social activities can also help stave off isolation and loneliness – two issues seniors may face if they aren’t socially engaged.
