This article aims to explore the current situation, impact, and effective strategies of social work in preventing and addressing loneliness among the elderly. Firstly, by elaborating on the definition of loneliness in the elderly and its profound impact on physical and mental health, including increased risk of depression and anxiety, accelerated cognitive decline, and negative effects on physical health, this article emphasizes the importance of studying the issue of loneliness in the elderly. Subsequently, the article analyzed the current situation of loneliness among the elderly, pointing out the prevalence of social isolation and the diverse factors that contribute to loneliness, such as changes in family structure and weak social support networks. It also explored the multifaceted consequences of loneliness in the elderly. On this basis, the article starts from the perspective of social work, deeply analyzes the social roots of loneliness among the elderly, and proposes targeted preventive measures. To effectively prevent and respond to loneliness among the elderly, this article proposes multidimensional and multi-level strategies.
