[quote=Anonymous]To people who are saying they are embarrassed or don't feel comfortable asking for help - I get it, I really do, but for heaven's sake - this is a very normal thing for someone to need help with, especially as we age. Lots and lots of us older people (and by older, I mean over 50) are finding this need and we are perfectly willing to help out if we can - it certainly isn't a "weird" request!  We've either already been in this position of needing a ride/"check out" person, or we can anticipate needing the help ourselves.

As for the requirement that someone be able to come in and sign you out "so they know that someone is looking out for you' ... I had to have my 18.5 year old son perform this duty for me a couple years ago after hernia surgery, and let me tell you, that was a complete joke, if they thought my 18.5 year old teen was going to provide any kind of supervision of me. Drove me home, yes, he did that. I am pretty sure if I passed out in the car, he would have just thought I was taking a little nap and would have let me rest while he went inside the house to finish his computer game. (I'm joking... but only sort of...) [/quote]
