Did you know that as a senior you can walk into almost any grocery store and ask for assistance and the staff will find someone to help you shop?
My mother in law who is legally blind utilizes this service from her local grocery store and it is so valuable to her. She walks in and the staff has someone with her through her whole shopping trip right through to check out.
She says it is the best thing to happen to her in a long time since grocery shopping has become such a challenge. "Shirley" has difficulty reading labels and cannot reach the higher shelves and is somewhat unsteady on her feet, and often needs to find a place to sit down halfway through her shopping.
The staff at the Market Basket in Lawrence, Mass was so helpful to her. They found her a seat to rest, and assisted her in picking out all her favorite brands. She is no longer afraid to go shopping alone! Just about any store will do this for our seniors. You just need to ask.
P.S. The new Hannafords in Kennebunk, Maine caters to seniors in every way. They have benches all throughout the store for resting and someone available to help you shop. Life is Good for Seniors....
