To me, this understates the absolute need for social networking and a supportive group of friends and loved ones as we age. Isolation has negative consequences for our health

I absolutely agree --- this is an excellent and timely reminder.
We have a young cousin who is a doctor who has agreed to handle our affairs if we are unable to do so.
But I am now realizing that we should have a back-up in place (with powers of attorney), in case our cousin is traveling or unable to step in.
