This study explores the question, How do §severely isolated senior citizens experience their §worlds? Within the United States, there is a group §of elderly individuals I have termed geriatric §orphans - people who do not have family or close §associations to assist them with needed activities §of daily living. The results show that isolated §seniors have a higher incidence of loneliness and §depression. As they grow older and more isolated, §they seek new ways to develop and maintain some sort §of meaning to their lives. The participants each §developed patterns of behaviors to cope with losses -§ of spouses, friends, relationships, and physical §abilities. Those who were still mobile enough to §leave their homes regularly were able to maintain §relationships. More often, the outside §relationships merely masked the loneliness and §feelings of inadequacy the participant would return §home to. The study found that those individuals who §were aging successfully were also those with the §best health. Most of the participants were §homebound, or totally dependent on others for §mobility.
