LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- More than 40,000 seniors in Louisville live alone, facing the risks of social isolation that can increase dementia and self-harm.
The Louisville Humana Foundation is awarding $12 million in grants nationwide to help seniors stay connected and maintain their well-being.
About $1.5 million of that funding will support programs in Louisville. The Louisville Orchestra will use $750,000 to bring live music to senior and community centers.
The Muhammad Ali Museum and Education Center will receive $375,000 to study how self-compassion can help reduce loneliness.
Other local recipients include Dare to Care Food Bank, the Louisville Urban League, and the Legal Aid Society of Louisville, providing nutrition, education, and legal support for seniors.
The grants aim to combine proven programs with innovative solutions, including data and technology, to help older adults feel connected and supported in their communities.
