Wired for Empathy @ UCLA

Our Mission.

OUR MISSION

Our goal is to help reduce loneliness and feelings of isolation within senior citizens in elderly care facilities.

We believe that meaningful human interactions are the foundation of all beliefs.

On a broad perspective, creating more opportunities for seniors within elderly homes to interact and connect with people on the outside can increase their feeling of belonging in the current decade.
