I live alone in my own house, but hire help for some things; such as replacing light bulbs, etc! Also cleaning floors, windows, flower beds, moving furniture. Anything I can no longer do. I have a couple who work for $25 an hr. each.
As for groceries, my daughter and son-in-law take me to buy groceries, pick up meds., see Dr., go to library, sometimes to Church. Lunch is usually here alone.
