Welcome to Meriatrics
Isolation and loneliness have reached epidemic proportions, at great risk to health, well-being and cognition. Staying socially active is crucial, particularly for older adults, to minimize the risks of stroke, heart disease and dementia.
Our services offer a singular solution for meeting the social needs of older adults, while also providing alternatives for their busy family members, "sandwiched" caregivers or other loved ones who don't live nearby.

Meriatrics -- delivering quality social life for older adults and peace of mind for the people who love them!
Connections
We're an approved/participating agency in the NH ServiceLink network, as a provider of companionship, visitation and activity services for NH older adults, including veterans.
We're pleased to be listed as a social intervention resource in the Intervention Catalog of the "Coalition to End Social Isolation & Loneliness", a partner of the Foundation for Social Connection.
We're a proud member of the "Commit to Connect" Champion Network and share in the vision/goal to reduce isolation/loneliness and to reach out to socially isolated people.
Why Meriatrics?
The Alarm Is Sounding
The health consequences of social deficits are quite real and well proven. Research shows that prolonged isolation or loneliness is dangerous (as bad as 15 cigarettes a day!), contributing to increased risk of stroke, heart disease, memory loss/dementia and even premature death.
We're Filling the Gap
The benefits of social enjoyment for older adults are huge! Our client-centered service options deliver direct social visitation and a wide variety of available activity options for client enjoyment/enrichment, while also providing help/peace of mind to supporting families and loved ones.
