- A game of cards with friends
- A group walk in the community gardens

Aging With Support: Choosing a Safe Environment for Loved Ones

It means every day is an opportunity to socialize, and you never have to worry about your loved one experiencing loneliness. A brief morning chat can often be enough to help enhance emotional well-being.
