Our Vision
Human Touch wants to make more mature adults’ golden years memorable by promoting community, involvement, dignity, care, purpose, belonging, support, wellness, joy, independence, and happiness.
Celebrating Human Connections
- As psychotherapist Virginia Satir famously said, We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth. No matter what our age, we need to be touched, whether it’s a hug, a back rub, a pat on the back, a squeeze of the shoulder or even a hand shake.
Touch is fundamental to everything we think and feel, how we communicate and bond, and whether or not we catch a cold. - A word of caution, however – let the reaction of others guide how much you touch them. If someone has been physically abused, touching them without permission may increase their stress.
Many Years of Spreading Care & Compassion
With a passionate community of volunteers, caregivers, and supporters, Human Touch is dedicated to bringing comfort, dignity, and emotional support to seniors who feel forgotten.
Through meaningful connections, daily care, and community engagement, we ensure that no elderly person has to face loneliness alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is human touch so powerful?
It has been found that touch calms our nervous center and slows down our heartbeat. Human touch also lowers blood pressure as well as cortisol, our stress hormone. It also triggers the release of oxytocin, a hormone known for promoting emotional bonding to others.
Why do I crave human touch?
When someone you like touches you in a pleasing way, your brain releases a chemical called oxytocin. Oxytocin is often referred to as the love hormone and it makes you feel great. It encourages bonding between people and boosts social recognition.
