I've finally convinced my 84 yo Dad he needs to move to a nice assisted living apartment. In people's experience do they become more social when the do this? Right now he has no social life thus neither do I,
A lot will depend on your father's previous social life and the cognitive state of the other residents.Can he go somewhere where he already knows some residents. What is the reason neither of you currently have a social life? Could he use an electric wheelchair and the two of you walk around the neighborhood and stop and talk to people, go to the library, movies or Bingo if that takes your fancy. many places have daycare with activities and a meal which he might enjoy. I just don't know enough about your situation to give more specific suggestions
