[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. I know the neighbors. I have their phone numbers. Parents are in the same home for many decades.  Some of the neighbors date back to my childhood ( I babysat their kids), and some are newer. Several would be happy to help in a pinch. [/quote]

Of course.  Most neighbors are happy to help anyone in a pinch.   The problem is, the "pinches" start becoming a 3-4 time a week (or even more) thing.[/quote]

The other problem is many seniors become selfish and mean which then burns a bridge between neighbors. Neighbors might be willing to help the friendly senior neighbors but not once they start yelling and are confused.

When my son takes out the trash cans he also goes across the street to take out an elderly neighbors trash. Next door to that senior live an elderly couple. One day the daughter of that couple saw my son taking out the trash cans and asked if he could take out the elderly couple’s. My son stammered something and came home. I had to go over and tell the woman her parents absolutely not. Her ostente haven’t been kind to us.[/quote]
