A good place to start is by contacting the nearest senior center. Also try community education. Local churches are another good place to try. They usually have senior groups and activities at churches as well as Bible studies. The United Way may have some references.\n\nSenior centers frequently have bridge and other card games, board games, sewing/needlework, crafts, pool, exercise classes, off-site trips to places of interest. They also usually serve a noon lunch for a reasonable price or even free if a need exists.\n\nYMCAs have all sorts of senior activities including aquatic exercises.\n\nSome older women join the red hat society. Its a social group where they where red hats and purple clothes and go on fun outings.\n\nCommunity ed classes can include all sorts of subjects such as bridge, computers, art. \n\nAnything that helps physically, emotionally, or spiritually is of benefit. I've seen people who are really depressed from loss of a spouse open up and blossom after getting involved in senior activities and developing a new network of friends.

I would start with physical therapy departments at the hospitals in your area.  Some hospitals offer classes about proper body mechanics.  also the educational department at some hospitals might have information/classes on caring for people with Alzheimers.

Many seniors complain about being cold, a sweater or a throw would work well.  Also, a radio to listen to talk shows or to music would be another great idea.  If you're looking for more ideas, contact a nursing home.   Merry Christmas.

My family uses Runboard.  We keep in touch on each other's activities as well as recently read books or movies we have seen.  We have had a great time with it.  My 80 year old mother actually got us going on it!

Great place to retire, and lots of people are.  Where there are lots of old people, you will never go broke selling medical equipment.  Go for it!

Alot of senior citizens join clubs, they do things like square dancing, crochet club, bridge club, quilting, community events planning ect. They also often start giving lessons to others on things that they are good at such as woodworking, piano ect.
