Don’t Take a Grocery Store for Granted

April 13, 2010

We care for a man who lives alone.  His caregiver usually does all of the grocery shopping for this consumer as his wife, who recently passed away, took care of that chore for the family.  On a nice day the gentleman wanted to go for a ride so his caregiver suggested he go to the grocery store with her.  At the store he was marveling at all of the new products and packaging.  When his caregiver asked, he told her that he hadn’t been in a grocery store in over twenty years!  

The trip to the store turned into a new experience for this man as he picked out a few items that he didn’t know existed before that day.   

After the caregiver left for the day, she called our office to share her excitement, saying that they had so much fun on their outing.  

Imagine a grocery store opening a whole new portal to the world!
