My husband has Parkinson's disease and COPD and needs a wheelchair to get around. Are there places he can go 2 or 3 days a week?

He had been a very social man and now only has me and our son to interact with.

See if there are Adult Day Care Services in your area. Check skilled nursing facilities, stand alone programs, Department on Aging with your state/province/community, and local communities of faith. Usually, these services are private pay.

My husband is same and we have found "adult day care " near us very helpful. Also our senior center runs a Parkinson's group for speech therapy once a week.

Check with your husband’s area of aging council in his area. If finances are a problem, a county social worker may help you.

If he has memory issues, then check out adult day care centers

Yes, it's called an Adult Daycare Center and most if not all cities have them.
Your husband can go up to 5 days a week and up to 8 hours/day.
They will feed him breakfast, lunch and a snack, and have different activities and entertainment to keep your husband occupied.
They even offer a spa day where they will shower and shave your husband if needed.
There is a cost, but if money is an issue they do offer financial help as does the VA if your husband is a veteran.
They are wonderful and worth every penny.

Check into your local senior centers and park and recreations, these are the places in my city that have programs for seniors to get out and about, participate and fellowship.

Some AL facilities offer day programs as well.

Where I live they offer activities, meals and grooming, all for a price.
