Need some Senior Suggestions. Been taking care of Pops in El Campo for about a year. Beautiful place, limited English speaking neighbors and til recently affordable.
Dad is now restless, needs/wants more activity and I think needs more people to actually communicate with. I think he is tired of feeling isolated. He is 75, ambulatory - but with memory issues.
Can anyone suggestion affordable (what would qualify for HUD housing in the US) areas where he could walk safely, and be around other older folk - or at least English speakers.? Retirement communities like those in the states are not the norm here... i know...
I have found nice apartments in the cities - but not sure he can maneuver nor do I want him wandering around Sto Dom. or Santiago with no Spanish skills.
Trying desperately not to have to go back to the US.
Thanks!
