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: justin@gogograndparent.com. 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?
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!
