What social health issues are experienced by elderly people?

ElderlySocialHealth: Check out http://www.yourdictionary.com/social-health. Transportation can be a major social health issue for elderly as they lose their independence by giving up their car keys, which makes them dependent upon a city that's not prepared to take them to places of worship, to supermarkets, to healthcare institutions, and to various areas to socialize & recreate.
