Older Australians and Loneliness

Are older Australians feeling lonelier than the rest of us?

This was one of the questions Breakfast host Taylah Strano asked Narelle Warren, Associate Professor in sociology and Anthropology at Monash University, this morning.

Though older Australians are surrounded by the idea that once you reach a certain age you will be lonely, Warren explained how older people are still important members of our community that, with the right people and facilities, can enjoy life to the fullest.
