Answer #1

For addressing the issue of; social isolation and retirement with no family support we should go for counseling of the patient with no pharmacological intervention. Making available the adaptive technologies as they can compensate for age-related deficits, and deficiencies that are age-related and impeding the social interaction. We can make transportation available for the seniors so that they can go out and interact if they can no longer drive. If they are religious encourage them to attend religious gatherings. Arranging for a caregiver is also a good idea. Encourage dining with others to increase their socialization.
