I have family members who work for similar groups in another country - they pick up the seniors in a van every morning and have activities at a comfortable base location that emulates a sitting room. It's a non-profit supported by the community, knowing that mental health leads to better physical health: ultimately leading to lower hospitalisation rates, catching problems early due to good communication, and therefore lower costs. It's extremely beneficial for all involved, and the women who run it tend to be older themselves nearing retirement age, as it's undemanding work for those who don't have much education or were "home makers" (being an older generation of women).
