The answer to that is not banning apartments through the vast majorities of our cities, forcing everything to be spread out so that you have to drive a car to participate in society. If the elderly could just walk to where they needed to go or walk around for leisure, they would not age as fast.

I shouldn’t have an old lady approach me to help her across a 2 lane + left turn road in Ann Arbor MI because she is afraid she will get hit again.

Human looking robots would be such a dystopian and sad solution to elderly loneliness. They need a third place and access to such in old age.
