[quote=Anonymous]What I would suggest: Get him one of those medical alert pendants, so if he does fall in the shower--or anywhere else--he can get help himself. I don't think it will ever be necessary, but knowing that he can get help may make him feel more secure. Assuming he has internet access, tell him to check out seniorplanet.org. It's a totally legit organization. Right now it's all via zoom, but in normal times it has inperson stuff too. Ask him to try a few different types of meetings. Look into other senior organizations available in his neighborhood. Most have a "congregate lunch." Often the food is pretty lousy, to be honest, but the idea is to go and meet other people. If he's at all religious, encourage him to attend services. Many religious congregations have social groups for seniors. [/quote]
