Nevada Senior Services on Fox 5 Las Vegas 03/02/2020: Coronavirus social isolation a concern for elderly seniors

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -- As more seniors and elderly people with existing medical conditions are asked to stay home to protect themselves from COVID-19, social isolation is becoming a concern.

Experts say social isolation can lead to depression which can be worse than the virus itself.

“They fold into themselves. They stop communicating with people and that depression turns into not eating and drinking but also loss of connection to life,” said Jeffrey Klein, president of Nevada Senior Services.

Many of the seniors under his care have dementia or Alzheimer's and become very accustomed to a routine.

When they are taken out of that routine and away from their peers, depression from social isolation can set in, experts say.

“When people give up life, they decline fairly rapidly,” said Klein.
