My Chinese father (60 years old) lives in walking distance of Chinatown and has been pretty lonely since my mom passed.
He’s Wenzhounese but speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, and decent English.
I try to visit him when I can and that helps, but I think he needs likeminded peers his own age and culture.
It’s also tough because he doesn’t really have hobbies—his days look like checking the stock market, reading the newspaper, and watching TV in the apartment.
I would love to find him friends to talk to and hang out with. He’s pretty social around the right people. I’d love for him to find purpose but at the very least, a reason to get out of the house.
Any suggestions for communities or clubs would be great. He’s not religious but even considered joining a church for the social aspect. I thought I’d ask here first before it got to that.
