I know this could be taken the wrong way, but it sounds like what you need is a dog walker to take him out.
I know what you are going through. A friend from our dinner club is going through the same thing here. He hasn't been for a year then he was all over the place with his speech. My bestie and I were I'm the pub last week when his wife led him in.he sat at our table. Staring into space and non verbal. Gone downhill really fast. His wife is st her wits end. She bought him to the pub to have a break from him. She left him with us while she played the pokies. We sat with him for 30 mins.
I was just thinking the same thing
The ramblers association isn't really the right 'walking' group though I don't think. I've walked with them in the past because of in-laws ties to them. They are a social, chatty group. In fact both of my in-laws used to be walk leaders (they ran a group locally until a few years ago). It isn't pavements and parks, it's more countryside, muddy footpaths, uneven bridleways, climbing over stiles, and some times walking up 'mountains'... though that would be a substantial challenge in Kent with it lacking much in the way of hills, let alone mountains. They grade the walks by length and difficultly and members are expected to be able to get to the start location and home again, to take care of themselves, sit down at lunchtime and eat lunch (or buy a pub lunch) and have suitable footwear and waterproofs, rucksack etc. I think that is a bit beyond MGs partners ability from the impression I've built up.
That was what I was wondering about.
Have you made any inquiries yet? I would think that there's a solution out there, but them I'm one of those kinda folks that are like little bulldogs. I bite into something and don't let go until it's all said and done
