Loneliness in old age does not always manifest as an obvious drama, but rather settles gradually into routine. Although the elderly are central figures during celebrations and special dates, they are often excluded from the life projects and daily decisions of their families and the social environment.
The advancement of digitalization has created a significant gap. Many seniors feel that the world is moving at a pace that feels alien to them, where human interactions have been replaced by automatic notifications and tracking codes, increasing the feeling of uselessness and disconnection.
Loneliness among the elderly is not an individual failure, but a collective symptom. As a society, we can do something as simple as including them.
The experience and memory of those who have lived longer represent an invaluable asset to the community. The current proposal is clear: to integrate the elderly not only in memories, but in the present, allowing them to remain active participants in the projects and decisions that shape life in Majadahonda.
