Antioch has struggled to meet the needs of its growing homeless population. \u003ccite>(Devin Katayama/KQED News)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“A lot of times, people would come in just to talk to staff and let them know what’s going on because they were treated like family here,” said Rebecca Sanders, program manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anka still operates a small 20-bed shelter on-site, but the nonprofit had to shut down its day center because the staff couldn’t handle the large number of people needing help, Sanders said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Businesses nearby were complaining, too, she said. Plus, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development cut funding for multiservice centers a couple of years ago, which meant Anka was losing money. On the final day of the center’s operation, more than 100 people were served.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was really emotional,” Sanders said. “Everybody was really upset. The clients were really sad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are churches in Antioch offering free meals and other help, but the city lacks comprehensive homeless services in these farthest eastern suburbs, said Sanders. Often homeless people go to Concord for help, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county recently upgraded its two homeless resource centers in Richmond (in the west) and Concord (in the center), adding staff who will help people find housing, but it wasn’t able to open a center in the eastern suburbs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have some challenges. There aren’t many providers in east Contra Costa County, where the demand is really high,” said Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larger cities like Richmond, Oakland or San Francisco are historically where nonprofit providers and philanthropic dollars have created a safety net. But in Antioch, there is a lack of basic infrastructure to serve the poorest residents, said Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next year, county officials will try to create a homeless service center in Antioch, she said. Contra Costa receives federal grants to improve coordination between homeless services across the county. Some homelessness service providers say it’s helping, while others are coming up with their own solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Antioch, one group is getting city support to build a 50-bed shelter for women and children. Police have also started \u003ca href=\"http://eastcountytoday.net/antioch-police-launch-community-engagement-team/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a new unit\u003c/a> that attempts to partner cops and homeless outreach.

Antioch has struggled to meet the needs of its growing homeless population. \u003ccite>(Devin Katayama/KQED News)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“A lot of times, people would come in just to talk to staff and let them know what’s going on because they were treated like family here,” said Rebecca Sanders, program manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anka still operates a small 20-bed shelter on-site, but the nonprofit had to shut down its day center because the staff couldn’t handle the large number of people needing help, Sanders said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Businesses nearby were complaining, too, she said. Plus, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development cut funding for multiservice centers a couple of years ago, which meant Anka was losing money. On the final day of the center’s operation, more than 100 people were served.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was really emotional,” Sanders said. “Everybody was really upset. The clients were really sad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are churches in Antioch offering free meals and other help, but the city lacks comprehensive homeless services in these farthest eastern suburbs, said Sanders. Often homeless people go to Concord for help, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county recently upgraded its two homeless resource centers in Richmond (in the west) and Concord (in the center), adding staff who will help people find housing, but it wasn’t able to open a center in the eastern suburbs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have some challenges. There aren’t many providers in east Contra Costa County, where the demand is really high,” said Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larger cities like Richmond, Oakland or San Francisco are historically where nonprofit providers and philanthropic dollars have created a safety net. But in Antioch, there is a lack of basic infrastructure to serve the poorest residents, said Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next year, county officials will try to create a homeless service center in Antioch, she said. Contra Costa receives federal grants to improve coordination between homeless services across the county. Some homelessness service providers say it’s helping, while others are coming up with their own solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Antioch, one group is getting city support to build a 50-bed shelter for women and children. Police have also started \u003ca href=\"http://eastcountytoday.net/antioch-police-launch-community-engagement-team/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a new unit\u003c/a> that attempts to partner cops and homeless outreach.

She mimes pressing a button: “Hello, Siri? Tell me this one!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Tachmuradova and Siri started conversing during a year-long pilot project, now coming to an end, at San Francisco’s \u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003ca href=\"http://curryseniorcenter.org\">Curry Senior Center\u003c/a>. Seventeen s\u003c/span>eniors were given iPads, FitBits and digital scales to monitor their health, and to reduce isolation by teaching them how to socialize, learn and enjoy themselves online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> “When I started this program, I was reborn,” says Tachmuradova. “I am becoming alive! More and more now, we are busy. I don’t feel I am alone. I live alone without \u003ci>being\u003c/i> alone.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">All of the program’s seniors live alone, and most are very low-income.\u003cb> \u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“Some people felt isolated, technologically-wise, because they didn't know what other people were doing on the internet,” says Angela Di Martino, who teaches the weekly class on how to use the devices. “Now I think they feel a lot more comfortable because they have that knowledge.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I live alone without \u003ci>being\u003c/i> alone.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Di Martino devoted early lessons to finding trustworthy medical information on the web, emailing your doctor and checking lab results online. Her students have also been introduced to an array of social tech tools; some of the group’s favorite are FaceTime and Skype for video chatting and Messenger for sharing photos. Many in the group use their iPads to tune in the radio or podcasts, and one has \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/MJofSanFran\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">her own YouTube channel\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The last few classes have been devoted to iPad photography, so today everyone is editing their best shots. In one corner, Marilyn Chan and Shirley Smith keep leaning over to see what’s happening on each other’s screens. Chan is polishing up a selfie of the two of them making the most of Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day. Across the room, Linda Rospendowski, 68, is contemplating a photo of herself in a hot pink dress. But she has a problem: The photographer has chopped off the top of her head, and she's wondering if you can digitally repair hair. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“The bouffant—it has to be there,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>America: Getting Old\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">As baby boomers head into their 60s and 70s, advocacy groups are now exploring the benefits of this kind of tech education for seniors.

But despite their numbers, baby boomers don’t always feel like they’re aging together. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“As many as 40 percent of adults who are 65 or older say that they experience significant loneliness,” says Ryerson.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Loneliness isn’t quite the same thing as being alone, but both can influence health. “Loneliness is something that is subjective. It’s our own perception of our experiences,” says Ryerson. It is also one measure of distress. Isolation, on the other hand, is an objective metric, “based on the size of someone’s social network, the frequency of contact with their social network and their access to services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">[contextly_sidebar id=\"pJzqgRcGnSSnAs2omLf83MRF0ZoTRCKk\"]Isolation can cause health problems even for a person who feels perfectly satisfied with a small or distant network. (Imagine not knowing anyone nearby who can check on you when you’re ill.) Ryerson says isolation is often triggered by loss of hearing or mobility, a move to a new community or a partner’s death, and it’s especially common among those who are low-income or identify as a member of a marginalized group.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">To address the problem, the AARP Foundation recently launched \u003ca href=\"https://connect2affect.org/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Connect2Affect\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, a resource portal for older adults and caregivers that encourages online engagement, and includes a \u003ca href=\"https://connect2affect.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/A-Profile-of-Social-Connectedness.pdf\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">study of social connectedness among people over age 62\u003c/span>\u003c/a>. The \u003ca href=\"https://aarptek.aarp.org/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">AARP Academy\u003c/span>\u003c/a> also offers free online tutorials for using smartphones, tablets or social media, and for conducting job searches on the internet. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Meanwhile, the National Council on Aging completed its own \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncoa.org/healthy-aging/aging-mastery-program/\">\u003cspan class=\"s3\">two-year tablet program\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, similar to Curry’s. The result? “The more time [participants] were spending on the tablets, the stronger their social interactions, their emotional support, self-esteem,” says \u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s4\">Susan Stiles, senior director of product development and strategy for the group. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">\u003cstrong>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Getting Seniors Connected\u003c/span>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Yet enticing people online isn’t always easy. According to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewinternet.org/2017/05/17/technology-use-among-seniors/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">study \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan class=\"s2\">released in May by the Pew Research Center\u003c/span>, while mobile device use is climbing among seniors, still only about a third own a tablet, 42 percent own smartphones, and just over half have broadband at home. Only about a third use social media.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“There were some fears going into the project,” says Stiles of the NCOA program. “People did not necessarily think that a tablet computer had any relevancy for their lives.

Stiles recalls a colleague asking the man to name some streets on his old route. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“She zoomed in on these streets and his eyes just lit up, \" Stiles says. \"And then he wanted to go everywhere in New York City.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">For a former B-movie actress, the most alluring app was YouTube, where she found her old film clips.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Tablets seem to be a nice middle ground for those who are skeptical of full-sized computers. You can use voice commands instead of struggling with a mouse or keyboard; they fit neatly into a small living space like a senior apartment; and you can use them while sitting in your favorite comfy chair. “It doesn't feel like this weighty technology object,” says Stiles. “It really feels like a book.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cstrong>Designing for Seniors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Pittsburgh-based Breezie, which sells tech solutions for seniors and \u003ca href=\"https://www.breezie.com/breezie-in-action/breezie-brings-online-benefits-to-seniors-in-florida/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">partnered with the NCOA on its program\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, is trying to make Android-based devices even easier for new users by offering a service that simplifies a tablet’s interface. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“If you went right now to a Best Buy and if you bought a tablet to give to a senior, there are 43 different settings you would want to change before you make it senior-friendly,”\u003cb> \u003c/b>says CEO and founder Jeh Kazimi. He means things that Breezie can pre-adjust, like brightness and volume, consolidating logins, and making the screen more forgiving if you accidentally put your thumb on it. The company is also trying to develop a way to cancel out hand tremor for people with Parkinson's disease, because uneven pressure can make the tablet think a user is swiping when they mean to click.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_415056\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-415056\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-1020x804.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-1020x804.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-160x126.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-800x631.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-768x605.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-1180x930.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-960x757.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-240x189.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-375x296.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-520x410.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kaycee Springer, 65, polishes up her photo of the sun setting over San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Kara Platoni/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Caregivers or Breezie staff can also curate each person’s desktop, like providing ready-made YouTube playlists for fans of jazz music or Muhammad Ali’s boxing matches. For an avid gardener, Kazimi says, they might install a few outdoorsy apps “that don’t show you ads every two minutes or ask you to upgrade every three minutes.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">But tablets aren’t a foolproof platform. Kazimi has seen seniors who need stickers to label the camera, volume and charging socket, because the devices can suddenly flip screen orientation, leaving confused people holding them upside down and wondering where the buttons are. Di Martino encountered some unexpected hurdles, too, “like a couple of the men in the class didn't know how to type.” She helped get people comfortable with the touchscreen by offering styluses, which are more accurate pointing tools than fingers. And she encouraged her students to feel OK about making mistakes. “Sometimes I tell them, ‘I don’t know what that button does. Let’s hit it,’” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cstrong>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Dip in Loneliness\u003c/span>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The seniors in the Curry program report different feelings about living alone—for example, Kaycee Springer enjoys it and is content using video chat to keep in touch with her daughters long-distance. But she does feel a bit socially crimped in the Tenderloin, where it doesn't always seem safe to walk around, especially at night. And she knows some of her elderly neighbors are extremely withdrawn. “There are people in my building, they just lay around and do absolutely nothing,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Di Martino has put together some preliminary stats from surveying participants at the program’s 6-month point. Almost all of the seniors said they used their iPad daily. As with the NCOA program, she noted a slight dip in reported loneliness. But the leaders of both projects say it’s hard to know if that stems from people making friends in class or becoming more social online. The AARP’s Ryerson says you might as well encourage both, so that technological and real-world connections reinforce each other. For example, she says, “FitBits are about taking steps. So let’s walk together.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">At the Curry Center, one other result is very clear: Now that the class is ending, nobody wants to give up their iPads. \"We just started!” exclaims Tachmuradova.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Springer still finds her tablet hard to put down: “I will put it on my bed—and then I will go, ‘\u003ci>It’s calling me\u003c/i>.’”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Di Martino says not to worry—they’re looking into a second phase that will allow everyone to keep their tablets, perhaps in exchange for peer mentoring the next round of students. Now that she’s taught them every iPad trick she knows, their new challenge will be teaching each other. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Her students have also been introduced to an array of social tech tools; some of the group’s favorite are FaceTime and Skype for video chatting and Messenger for sharing photos. Many in the group use their iPads to tune in the radio or podcasts, and one has \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/MJofSanFran\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">her own YouTube channel\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The last few classes have been devoted to iPad photography, so today everyone is editing their best shots. In one corner, Marilyn Chan and Shirley Smith keep leaning over to see what’s happening on each other’s screens. Chan is polishing up a selfie of the two of them making the most of Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day. Across the room, Linda Rospendowski, 68, is contemplating a photo of herself in a hot pink dress. But she has a problem: The photographer has chopped off the top of her head, and she's wondering if you can digitally repair hair. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“The bouffant—it has to be there,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>America: Getting Old\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">As baby boomers head into their 60s and 70s, advocacy groups are now exploring the benefits of this kind of tech education for seniors.

But despite their numbers, baby boomers don’t always feel like they’re aging together. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“As many as 40 percent of adults who are 65 or older say that they experience significant loneliness,” says Ryerson.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Loneliness isn’t quite the same thing as being alone, but both can influence health. “Loneliness is something that is subjective. It’s our own perception of our experiences,” says Ryerson. It is also one measure of distress. Isolation, on the other hand, is an objective metric, “based on the size of someone’s social network, the frequency of contact with their social network and their access to services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>Isolation can cause health problems even for a person who feels perfectly satisfied with a small or distant network. (Imagine not knowing anyone nearby who can check on you when you’re ill.) Ryerson says isolation is often triggered by loss of hearing or mobility, a move to a new community or a partner’s death, and it’s especially common among those who are low-income or identify as a member of a marginalized group.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">To address the problem, the AARP Foundation recently launched \u003ca href=\"https://connect2affect.org/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Connect2Affect\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, a resource portal for older adults and caregivers that encourages online engagement, and includes a \u003ca href=\"https://connect2affect.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/A-Profile-of-Social-Connectedness.pdf\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">study of social connectedness among people over age 62\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.

The company is also trying to develop a way to cancel out hand tremor for people with Parkinson's disease, because uneven pressure can make the tablet think a user is swiping when they mean to click.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_415056\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-415056\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-1020x804.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-1020x804.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-160x126.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-800x631.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-768x605.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-1180x930.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-960x757.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-240x189.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-375x296.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni-520x410.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2017/06/SENIORS15_Platoni.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kaycee Springer, 65, polishes up her photo of the sun setting over San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Kara Platoni/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Caregivers or Breezie staff can also curate each person’s desktop, like providing ready-made YouTube playlists for fans of jazz music or Muhammad Ali’s boxing matches. For an avid gardener, Kazimi says, they might install a few outdoorsy apps “that don’t show you ads every two minutes or ask you to upgrade every three minutes.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">But tablets aren’t a foolproof platform. Kazimi has seen seniors who need stickers to label the camera, volume and charging socket, because the devices can suddenly flip screen orientation, leaving confused people holding them upside down and wondering where the buttons are. Di Martino encountered some unexpected hurdles, too, “like a couple of the men in the class didn't know how to type.” She helped get people comfortable with the touchscreen by offering styluses, which are more accurate pointing tools than fingers. And she encouraged her students to feel OK about making mistakes. “Sometimes I tell them, ‘I don’t know what that button does. Let’s hit it,’” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">\u003cstrong>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Dip in Loneliness\u003c/span>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The seniors in the Curry program report different feelings about living alone—for example, Kaycee Springer enjoys it and is content using video chat to keep in touch with her daughters long-distance. But she does feel a bit socially crimped in the Tenderloin, where it doesn't always seem safe to walk around, especially at night. And she knows some of her elderly neighbors are extremely withdrawn. “There are people in my building, they just lay around and do absolutely nothing,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Di Martino has put together some preliminary stats from surveying participants at the program’s 6-month point. Almost all of the seniors said they used their iPad daily. As with the NCOA program, she noted a slight dip in reported loneliness. But the leaders of both projects say it’s hard to know if that stems from people making friends in class or becoming more social online. The AARP’s Ryerson says you might as well encourage both, so that technological and real-world connections reinforce each other. For example, she says, “FitBits are about taking steps. So let’s walk together.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">At the Curry Center, one other result is very clear: Now that the class is ending, nobody wants to give up their iPads. \"We just started!” exclaims Tachmuradova.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Springer still finds her tablet hard to put down: “I will put it on my bed—and then I will go, ‘\u003ci>It’s calling me\u003c/i>.’”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Congressional forecasters say a Senate bill that aims to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act would leave 22 million more people uninsured by 2026.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s only slightly fewer uninsured than a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/24/529902300/cbo-republicans-ahca-would-leave-23-million-more-uninsured\">version passed by the House in May\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52849\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monday’s report\u003c/a> from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office could give moderate senators concerned about health care coverage pause. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell wants a vote on the bill this week, before senators head home for the Fourth of July recess. With Senate Democrats united in opposition, Republicans can afford to lose only two votes on their side and still pass the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada, who is up for re-election next year, has already expressed reservations about the number of people who could lose coverage under the GOP bill. Four other Republican senators have complained that the bill doesn’t go far enough in rolling back the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”3VYukjwGuDWleAOvKiiHHmAd7ewuNtF3″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate bill would cut hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes over the coming decade, with most of the savings going to those at the top of the income ladder. At the same time, it would phase out the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion, while offering less generous subsidies to those who purchase health insurance on the individual market. That combination is expected to reduce the number of people with insurance coverage by 22 million by 2026: Fifteen million fewer on Medicaid and 7 million fewer in the individual market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, the bill would also make deep cuts to traditional Medicaid, the safety net program for the poor and people with disabilities.

That combination is expected to reduce the number of people with insurance coverage by 22 million by 2026: Fifteen million fewer on Medicaid and 7 million fewer in the individual market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
