i am senior and retired. I decided to relocate from my lifelong home and move to North Carolina for a test run. I made this plan up 5 years ago and implemented it 1 year ago. I am starting to feel a little at "loose ends" now that everything is "decorated", merchant familiarization is solved and so on. Does anyone have suggestions for establishing a "new life" socially after age 70. Somewhere I heard that bingo is a good start. Any comments on that? I am also considering trying to get a job. I have some health issues, but; I feel good and all my numbers are good and I still walk to get groceries.
There are newcomer clubs and meet up groups in most towns. The ones in Asheville are very active. They can help.
Scrabble and (casual, fun, friendly) bridge are way more fun. But aside from a little circle of "unfriendly" bridge players (who apparently, have done absolutely nothing all their lives except play bridge with the same partner or tournament only) I can find nothing of the sort in an over 55 community of 302 homes. Scrabble, I've come to realize, is out of the question.
Bingo has become such a twisted game I've lost interest in it. Just call the numbers for petesakes - and up, down, across, or diagonal is enuff! One cover all a day is enough, too.
Diet, exercise, and a good amount of physical activity for those who are so able. It's easier to retain your mobility and physicality than it is to start from a low point and build back up.

Keep weight in normal range, no smoking, not much alcohol, exercise and stay away from sick people. We've made it a practice also to avoid gatherings of people in confined spaces, like airplanes. Too much possibility of exposure to sickies.
