Community healthcare plays an important role in improving the mental health of the elderly, particularly by:

• Providing social support: Encouraging interactions with friends and the community to reduce feelings of loneliness.
• Organizing social activities: Group activities help improve mood and strengthen the sense of belonging.

3. Education and Awareness

Community healthcare offers an opportunity to educate the elderly about:

• Managing diseases: Provide information on how to manage chronic conditions.
• Public health: Raise awareness and educate about healthy habits.

4. Support for Caregivers

Community healthcare also helps support caregivers by:
