consider support systems for the elderly who may be isolated due to geography, disability, family dysfunction, lack of family, or the generally increasing isolation of modern life. How can we as a society improve the support system for them?

Now that you have read about social support systems, consider support systems for the elderly who may be isolated due to geography, disability, family dysfunction, lack of family, or the generally increasing isolation of modern life. How can we as a society improve the support system for them? Give this some serious thought and be specific. Think of your family—do you or could you potentially have an elderly family member who might be considered isolated? How might you address this? Do you agree with society and its responsibility to our elders?
