Looking for a "playdate" for my mom

My mom is very sociable but adult daycare centers are too much for her. If you are caring for your mom with dementia, maybe we can explore how to get them together for a couple hours for companionship.

    Check with your local Alzheimer's Association regarding local opportunities such as a "memory cafe." This is an international forum, you don't mention your location? There are ways of private messaging people who might live in some proximity, but- getting two PWD to interact is not a given.
