There should be a car service for seniors that provides transportation and labor for a reasonable flat fee. A senior citizen would be able to call the service, be taken to a grocery store, helped with shopping, and then helped with unpacking. There could also be a la carte options if the person just wants a ride and doesn't need help with lifting and carrying.

Great idea, especially for seniors living alone in a house or apartment. Perhaps insurance companies would subsidize the cost, given that this would be safer than elderly folks facing the perils of public transportation or trying to drive when they have no business being on the roads.

Maybe the gov't. could subsidize the fares of seniors using call-in radio-dispatched taxis.
