Have them try GoGoGrandparent.com! A way to use Uber and Lyft with a phone call. Call and press 1 to get picked up from home, call and press 2 to get picked up at your last location. We screen their drivers, make sure the cars aren’t too big or too small and monitor GPS and trip pickups so that if it looks like a driver is getting lost we can get them back on track. Our mission is to help people age independently in their home for as possible, regardless of their age - or sobriety!

Thanks for sharing this. What a delightful idea! My grandma is forever complaining about all the things she can't do anymore, but won't touch the internet, much less a smartphone!

This may help restore some of her independence, and I look forward to sharing it with her!

Haha awesome, if you ever have any feedback please feel free to send me an email: [e-mail]. I'd love to hear how we could improve the service and/or what we could do to make it easier to adopt.

What sort of things she can’t do anymore?

[smeej]

She drives, but not safely. She goes to the grocery store, but it takes a long time and tires her out.

I'd tried to get her a smartphone just so she could use things like Instacart and Lyft, but she doesn't have internet at he and doesn't want to learn.

If she could just make a call and get a ride, she'd be all for it!

Heads up, I get a page titled "Divya's Page Landing Tests ..." When I reach your website through Google ads.

Very cool though. I would have loved this for my grandfather when he was still going places a few years ago.

Thanks for the heads up! Had it not been for your comment this would likely have continued for a long time.
