Transportation is often a problem with Senior Citizens. Many Senior Citizens drive long after they should stop because they have no other way to get around. I once was asked to visit a man in the country. As I drove up the farm lane and met an elderly man. I asked him if he was the one I sought but he replied that was his father who was throwing rocks up on the fence row that had been turned up by the plow, though he was 96 years old. I later visited a pastor in a nearby town and was telling him about the man. He stated he knew who I meant for the man went to his church. They had taken his car away because they didn’t feel it was safe for him to drive so he drove his tractor 8 miles to church every week. He was an exception for it is often no longer safe for many elderly people to drive or they are no longer able to. Once they can no longer drive, they are often confined to home and it is difficult to get food and other things they need. Many Senior citizens live in small towns where there is no bus or taxi system. Even where they are available, they are often expensive. While the government provides some transportation for Senior Citizens, many live beyond its reach. Neighbors going to the store can pick them up and take them along or pick up a few items for them while they shop. If the Senior Citizen enjoys children, mothers of young children may appreciate a Senior Citizen who looks after their kids while they go to the store and can pick up what the elderly person needs while they are there.
