I don't think women above 75 have a good social support too. We as society just don't take good care of the elderly.

- zingababba 3y agoDepends on the person too, my 90 year old grandmother still lives alone in her large house and is so in touch with her neighbors that she has someone that mows her grass, someone that brings her mail up to her doorstep, someone that does her weeding, someone that does her shopping, and on and on. I'm always amazed by how many people just volunteer to do stuff for her, it's like a superpower. She is a pretty unique individual though, I think most elderly individuals just slip into a pit of isolation.
- DeIlliad 3y agoI can only give you anecdotes but all of my grandmothers and great aunts have friends and frequently go out with them. I'm not trying to argue with you about the pitiful state of elder care in the US though. I agree fully.
