I'm not really sure what to advise. I'm sure if you call the bikur cholim office (of Lakewood) they will let you know what options there are for volunteering. I am curious to see if others have any ideas since my mother is in her upper 60's and would like to move to Lakewood but is worried that she will feel alone without her friends. I do know a number of women in their 60's here but they are not a group, rather spread out individuals in Lakewood.

Bikur Cholim is a great place to start. Deja New. Ahavas Tzedakah? (Not sure if they need volunteers but Mrs. Shanik can definitely hook you up with the right people.) Tomchei Shabbos.

My FIL moved to Lakewood around 2 years ago. He lives in A Country Place. There seems to be a really well-developed program for seniors there, for both men and women, with activities that get them meeting others.

60's isn't really so senior. There's a ladies Nshei, part of bikur cholim for seniors. I'm not sure how active they are in the summer. I know they find it very hard to get drivers to bring the participants.

Also, she must drive in Lakewood or she will be very isolated!!!!
