I have absolutely nobody in my life which has led me to pretty much laying in bed 24/7
Any suggestions on how to socialize. I have no transportation either.
My house is paid for is about the only positive thing in my life...
Hi
, your town's transportation department should have a transport service (pick-up and drop-off) that can help you get around. You check this page https://www.alz.org/cwva/helping_you/support-groups to find support and social groups, both virtual and in-person.
You could also check with your church community for activities that you would enjoy, and they may also be able to help with transportation.
Please know you're not alone. We're always here to listen and share support. - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
Hi, and thanks for being here with us. How are you doing today? I am thinking of you and hope you know that our community is always here, so anytime you need to check in, share, or vent, we are always a place you can count on.
Are you relatively mobile? Are you able to walk or use a walker to get around? Getting outside or even walking in a mall area can be options. Check-in with your local community library and senior center to see if they have connections for a walking club, simple crafts, or guest speakers where someone can collect you or, as Donna mentions, may have available online using a link.
Another idea is to see if any organizations in your community have volunteer opportunities to wrap presents for the upcoming holidays or complete cards to pass on to those in need within your community. Depending on your ability and comfort level, I'd inquire about how strenuous and often the volunteer work may be. These kinds of options are ways to help you stay connected to your community.
Please let us know what you find or if you need more support. Respectfully, Nancy Alzheimersdisease.net Team Memberthank you for responding. I can walk etc just fine. I guess I'm kinda a loner. Thank you for your support and information... Hi again. We are here. Anytime you want to check in and chat, we're here. If you don't mind sharing, what is the weather like where you live? In Massachusetts, we are enjoying a relatively warm fall. The leaves are falling, and soon, I will have to rake. Have you ventured into watercolor painting? This is something I have started, and I love it. I also like to journal. These are just a couple more thoughts for you to think about. What are some things you like to do or want to do? Best, Nancy Alzheimersdiesease.net Team Member
I lived the first 10 years of my life in Massachusetts. I live in Florida and the weather is great!
Good day, greetings. Massachusetts is a lovely place, and so is Florida. I love Florida's abundance of beaches. If you don't mind sharing, what are some things you enjoy doing? Do you need support with locating an Alzheimer's support group? Warmly, Nancy Alzheimersdisease.net Team Member
I have this addiction called saltwater fishing...I'm not really sure what is meant by "support"? Would you please elaborate just a little?
Thank you!

Thank you....Hi DJ, I am glad you asked about support and what it means to our community. I greatly appreciate explanation. Our team and community members are here to share resources and information from their personal experiences and lend their listening ears. Saltwater fishing is something I have never engaged in. How often do you enjoy this activity? Respectfully, Nancy Alzheimersdisease.net Team Member
