Socially isolated seniors can be prone to loneliness. Shrinking social circles and loss of a spouse or friends through death are some of the reasons seniors become socially isolated. There are many opportunities available for socializing for those who want to make new connections. Nanaimo offers many programs such as lunch socials, exercise classes and day trips. Single seniors can find new friends by joining one of the many one day bus tours travelling around our beautiful island. There are tours for every interest; shopping, sightseeing, sports, gaming and much more.
