Excellent thread, I must say. Bringing parents who lived most of their life in Nepal and make them feel USA home is never ever easy.  Libraries, churches, volunteering - yes there could be options to mingle and be sociable but for how long? Unless one is seriously into it, it becomes monotonous overtime in many ways. Call me skeptic, but it is not gonna work in the long run for old people. Most of the first generation Nepali who went to a college here, and who have been working for years have a pretty miserable social life here amidst work pressure and lack of like-minded people in the community or the city they live. And for someone who had a decent career in Nepal (say as a bureaucrat) which gave them recognition among their peers and natives, for someone who is a social butterfly in the social realm of Nepal, coming to the US at old age and trying to be a part of the community here is many folds more difficult.
