I'd like to move on to something else, but I very much see what you're getting at.
In the past, retirees have come to see me to discuss the issue of remaining in their homes. They weren't interested in moving to a retirement home, apartment, or residence. They wanted to stay in their homes. They didn't want to lose their independence, their privacy, or their freedom. The risk, though, is that they can end up isolated.
Can letter carriers help bring seniors out of their isolation, or can that be achieved in other ways, besides through interactions with the letter carrier once a day or every couple of days? What are your thoughts on that?
