What do solo agers say they need most?
Help at home!
I feel like I need this too! I spend so much time on home maintenance, calling utility and credit card companies, and being my own IT person.
I can imagine that needing home modifications like handrails installed or repairing a broken door might become quite overwhelming.
With ride sharing services, I feel relieved that I will have reliable, albeit expensive and sometimes inconvenient, transportation to help me keep up with medical appointments and social engagements with friends.
I work hard on keeping healthy but I can see a future need for patient advocate and perhaps legal help.
Downsizing is a constant effort and one day it may be too much for me.
Here is a list I found of the top needs of solo agers. What one do you think is most important?
Home Maintenance & Chore Services
Home Modifications
Technology
Home Security
Downsizing/Organizing Items
Social Connections with other Solo Agers
How to Use Transportation Apps
