At one point while the elder was still living alone (and making frequent “I’m out of toothpaste, come get me so we can go shopping”) the consultant showed up with a magnetic legal pad and attached pen, stuck it on the fridge and said 'When you run out of something, write it down. When your kids call, read them the list; they’ll put it in your Peapod shopping cart and then once a week a nice delivery person will show up with EVERYTHING you need! Everyone in the neighborhood is doing this! It’s just the best way to shop, you’ll love it".

This! My mom is terrible about wanting to go to Walmart and pick up a few items and then wanting to go back a couple of days later. I told her it was an unreasonable request.
