Support groups for elderly?
My father has been on his own for a number of years now. My brothers and I are all busy with our own families, work, and day to day life to spend enough time with him. We have been worrying about his overall happiness because he generally doesn't have anyone left. All of his friends have passed away or moved out of state. He has been developing memory an cognitive issues and I know it is worrying him. I just think having someone to talk with or a group to talk with would help. Does such a thing exist? If so, what are these groups called?

Thank you for both of your replies.
I will have to get in touch with my county and get a list of Alzheimer's related facilities to see if they have one or could consider hosting one. I wouldn't mind taking him a few days a week if it helps him out.
I too will look into counseling resources as well. I don't want something bad to happen to him and I do worry a lot about his happiness.
