Harry & Helen Webb Connection

A Senior Citizen Adult Care Center

How We’re Helping

Have you ever thought about the effects loneliness and social isolation have on senior citizens? As indicated in numerous publications, and notably by the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institute of Aging (NIA), isolation among seniors contributes greatly to an increased risk of premature mortality, dementia, depression, heart disease, cognitive decline, and mental health issues. Harry & Helen Webb Connection is devoted to changing the lives of seniors in our community. We provide senior citizens with a healthy social life that keeps them mentally, physically, and emotionally fit.
