My dad is alone all day while I work and he's getting lonely

Your options, best first

#1 Do it yourself

Add regular contact

  1. Set up a daily phone call at a fixed time.
  2. Ask neighbors, a faith group or a senior center about visits.
  3. Look for adult day programs near you.
  4. Share your parent's interests with any companion before they start.
  5. Check in after the first two weeks about how it feels.

Safety: Non-medical, daytime company only.

Stop and call a pro if: Your parent seems confused, has fallen or isn't eating: contact their doctor; call 911 for an emergency.
