    Outreach for older Americans in our corner of paradise

    The nonprofit Baker Senior Center Naples (BSCN), led by President and CEO Jaclynn Faffer, Ph.D., meets the needs of seniors in Collier and southern Lee counties in the areas of social services, dementia, isolation and loneliness. According to the center's website, naplesseniorcenter. org, 'An estimated 86,000 people over the age of 65 live in the greater Naples area, and roughly one-third of them live alone. The majority of BSCN members say they joined because of loneliness, and 72% live alone. These statistics show why social engagement is a vital first step toward addressing the needs of local seniors.'
