Have you found that it's not as easy to get out as we get older? Physical infirmities, traffic, parking, public transportation, costly ride-share options, risk of air-borne infections from enclosed & crowded places, and more reasons that keep many senior adults home-bound.
And it's not always easy to meet new people to do things with. This has caused many senior adults to feel lonely and isolated at times. And it's not just a problem for seniors -- all age groups are dealing with the same issue. See the bottom for a link to a 2023 US Surgeon General Advisory on the Healing Effects of Social Connection and Community.
ThePlayground Senior Circle was created to help reduce the impact of the above circumstances. We are a free, secure, private website built on the Circle.so community-building platform, with NO ads.
Seven days a week ThePlayground provides at least one hour of live events to connect members. We offer a 24-hour Open Zoom where members can pop in to see if others are there, or use it to arrange for private group gatherings when not being used for Daily Events. These include Coffee Chat in the mornings, musical events, trivia games, movie night, open chat, discussions on ageing issues, and much more.
Members have access to direct messaging with each other, Daily Open Chat for reaching all, links to outside resources, a member marketplace for offering any goods & services to others (no self-promotion anywhere else allowed!), and over two dozen interest groups for sharing articles, links, memes, photos, and more. ALL FREE, as we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Please use the Form on the CONTACT US PAGE to request an invitation to join ThePlayground Senior Circle.
