CAMBRIDGE, NE — The winter season is upon us and the colder weather may bring individuals further into isolation. Many Americans have been hunkering down amid the COVID-19 pandemic since early March and this prolonged isolation may take its toll on individuals, especially the elderly population. According to the American Psychological Association, more than 12 million Americans over age 65 live alone. Beyond the feelings of stress and anxiety that may accompany wintertime and the upcoming holidays, families are facing the death of loved ones, grave illnesses, prolonged isolation, and loss of income due to the pandemic. These stressors can make the holidays blues feel even bluer this year, and Tri Valley Health System Senior Life Solutions is here to help older adults in the community.

Thanksgiving celebrations this year were like most every other day, at home with immediate family. Frances Warner and Susan and Jay Wyatt enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving meal of Turkey and Roast Beef with all the trimmings.
