There are a number of programs for the elderly here in Israel, not far from us, in Eli, Beit El, Ofra, Jerusalem. I would love to take my father to them. There's even a possiblity of organized transportation, which is no problem for him physically.
Unfortunately there's another problem. The programs are in the morning. My father needs a lot of sleep and it would be terribly stressful to try to get him up and out so early in the morning.
I know that his schedule isn't unique, especially among those who are on all sorts of medications. He would really enjoy the programs and socializing, even though not everyone speaks English. But he can't participate. What a shame.

Would it be possible for you to speak with them to add some chugim in the afternoon? It's a shame that your father can't participate; there should be some flexibility in their programming, one would think.
Apparently there are enough elderly who function from 9am. We have the Movie Club in the afternoon at least.
