There is a group forming all over TV now call "Aging in Place". It is really big in Hadley and there is a new group coming together in Polo Ridge/Glenview/Summerhill. The idea behind this is to help seniors in need before they are at the stage of needing to pay for care or to go into residential care. Help such as getting people to appointments, doctors, dentists, you name it. Taking people to the stores and on and on. If you google "Aging in Place" you will see that it is a worldwide movement allowing people to stay in their homes for as long as they can.
I am sure there is a need in the Veteran's group for this kind of help. You could put out a post on here to see if Veterans need this kind of assistance. Also, have you joined a group in your area called "Next Door". Do a search for Next Door in TV and you will be amazed at how widespread it is and how useful it is. That is how we are forming our Aging in Place.
