HELP! My grandmother needs friends?
She's in her 80s and we're from sub-Sahara Africa. Over there, there is an emphasis on community and people are constantly interacting with one another. In America it's completely different. No one really has time to talk with her as much as she is used to. The only time we really spend together is on Sundays. And other elderly people from our country aren't around our neighborhood. I wanted her to join a senior's club, but I'm afraid that the cultural and language differences will be a barrier. Although, maybe this will be good because she will learn more about other cultures.. Any suggestions as to how I can find people for her to become friends with?

Damn, this is hard. Old people are really sensitive (I'm facing that with my Grandmother right now) and to be honest, I don't think they need new friends. I think what they really want is more time with their family. The best advice I can give you is to visit her more often or, I dunno, move there?
Or I know! Get her to move in with you!
Over here, the Government worries about old people, so they encourage them to move in with their kids or grandkids! My Grandmother seems pretty happy so maybe you could just let yours move in with you
