I can attest the programs are a godsend. One of my parents attended. You can often do a little visit first.

Senior day centers have programming all day and they can match her up for a lunch visit with potential friends. There are people there cognitively fine who just need supervision for safety and some social interaction.

My mother is a 77-year-old woman with Parkinson's. My father passed away last year, and she has moved in with my sister. I live very close by. She lived about an hour away from us, and we take her back about once a month to visit friends. I can tell she is lonely, though and her friends aren't in the best of health either. Because of her Parkinson's, it is difficult for her to make new friends. I was wondering if there are any nearby places I could take her to for senior classes. I take her to a Parkinson's dance class, but I would love for her to be able to go somewhere and meet some people her age and make new friends. Are there places that offer classes? Play cards? Art classes for seniors? We are in the Fairfax.
