Practical support

 A couple of months ago, I posted about this group of old people what meet at a coffee cafe every morning. The oldest in the group fell over his pegs just before Christmas and broke his hip. He was in hospital for a week then discharged home and has carers coming once a day for six weeks. 

Observe what the group is doing: bringing him coffee every morning, collecting his newspaper voucher from him and collecting his paper, bring his vegetable delivery upstairs to his kitchen for him, checking his bathrrom wall for metal before they put a gripper bar in. And we just chat with him. It's good.
