Learning from residents, families and staff
Background to FFI’s research on social connection among older adults, developed with support from Tufts Health Plan Foundation.
RESEARCH BACKGROUND
Social connection
across generations
During the COVID 19 pandemic, FFI developed a survey with support from Tufts Health Plan Foundation to learn about older adults’ social interaction.
It invited perspectives from residents, family members and staff at older adult living facilities. The aim was to help design a curriculum connecting young people and older adults, informed by the people taking part.
