Well yes there are senior van services, but we brought this up to her last year when she tripped on a board outside and hurt her leg but she didn't want anything to do with it. She wouldn't even go to the doctor and actually crawled around the house because she couldn't walk on it. Wouldn't even let the neighbor's know what was going on for a few weeks so they could help, even when they came to the door she would take some time to get there but then just stand there so they had no idea what was going on. Within about 6 weeks she was fine and got around the house by crawling until I sent her a cane. She said it took her about 20 minutes to go out and back out to the mailbox and she did it at like 3AM so it was dark and nobody would see her! She's way too proud to ask for any help.
