A good part of the answer involves money. Is money an issue? Assume not.
You can advertise for a driver for errands. You might find someone in the community.
Look for a live in person if you have room.
Some grocery stores have on line shopping and you pick up in your car. Amazon will send non perishable items. At some point local grocery stores will probably start delivers.
A couple of years ago their was a business that would do shopping for you. Do not know if they are still in business.
Try using the cell phone. They should carry one all the time so if they fall or another emergency come up they can call for help.
Have a key to the home at a couple of neighbors. Maybe a note on the door to tell emergency people where to go for a key.
Put emergency info on the refrigerator. - medications, doctors, contacts. This is a common place for emergency people to look. Usually in a red envelope. Check with your local fire department. They may also put batteries in your smoke alarms.
Some police departments will do daily wellness checks where they call each day and check on them.
You can call them once or twice a day to see how they are and if they took their medicine, have a problem etc.
You can put cameras in the home that will broadcast over the internet so you can check in. These can also have sound. You can get ones that is motion activated and sends out emails. Problem is privacy. Maybe a motion camera (no sound) that aims at the Kitchen sink. You could check your email and know when there were at the sink. This might help you tell if their is a problem. Under $100 if they have internet. If they go in and out of the house several times a day you could have the camera set up as a normal outside security camera and you could see that they were up and about that day. No privacy problem.
You can install a switch on an outside light that can be set to blink the light if they are in trouble. Neighbors would have to know about the light.
There maybe a citizen patrol in the area. Do not know what they might do.
Call the county senior citizen (call the county to find) and I think they will have some service that will help with your problem.
Amazon has Amazon Prime that will let them shop for almost anything on line and deliver in two days. For online ordering you could talk to them on the phone and then place the orders for them.
Try a handy man service to see if you can have someone to do a lot of the off an on chores as they come up.
Alexa from Amazon might be the answer. You can put one in each room if necessary and all they have to do is talk to it. Be sure to have a command to call you and the emergency people if necessary. In the area of home automation you can turn lights on/off, TV etc. I would research Alexa as they would have privacy and could send email or order on line from Amazon. I would write to Amazon and as then what they suggest for your problem.
Do they have a golf cart? Cut down on driving?
Assume their medicine can be handled by mail. Again you can probably log on to the health providers site and do what is necessary to order drugs etc.
I think you want to see what a computer and the internet can do. Might be a lot more help than we realize.
You should see if you can monitor their checking account. Have the bank statement sent to you each month. If you see problems then take some corrective action.
Have utilities send you copies of monthly bills and contact you if there are problems. I think this is pretty standard.
Automate bills using an online bill paying service. Their bank probably offers.
If toilets are not the high variety you might want to get one. Also more grab bars, walk in tub if you do not have a walk in shower.
Maybe a chair with wheels for disabled (not a wheelchair) Easer to move around house if rugs not a problem. Could also put items on chair (wash) and push around the home.
Skype might be good for phone calls. You can see how they look.
Please let us know what you did as it may help others. Very good question.
