What is out there for our elderly?
Kia ora. Title is pretty much self explanatory but for some context, my grandmother is looking for some kind of community in Auckland with people her own age but I am struggling to find something for her.
Last November our grandfather passed away. She is going through grief counselling but she has expressed how she needs some purpose in life again and I just really feel for her. She's alone and unfortunately not a lot of us are in Auckland to keep her company.
So what's out there? There's an abundance of groups/activities for our youth but I can't seem to find anything for our elderly who are alone and need to keep their brains and bodies active. Are there FB groups I can join and enquire?
She goes to the library, walks, she is an ex chef, she really does her best but she's bored. There's got to be somewhere with people in her age range (70s) that she can become a part of. I was thinking maybe she can knit for SCBU babies (although a hospital might be triggering for her) just anything really. Please help. She deserves to have some joy in her life and I'd love to see that smile of hers again.
