I've hit a rough patch in my life and I've been really wanting to do something meaningful with myself. There have been several ideas and many haven't come to fruition yet, but I'm working on it. An idea I had, it stems from when I used to hang out with my grandma at a retirement home and the wisdom (the wisdom with the love) you'd get from the people you talked. My idea was I'd like to visit at least one home around me and just be there for conversation about anything and everything.

How would I go about searching for a place to ask to be able to do this? What would I run into in this quest that I should have prepared to overcome. I literally just want to hang around during certain hours to just make friends and don't want to cause problems.

I didn't know who to ask so I came here first.
