I always try to. Today in the ER there was an elderly woman in a wheelchair and she had a blanket around her. Her blanket kept falling down so I helped her to fix it while her family just sat and stared at me.

I am elderly, but I still help the elderly. It has been needed recently when our Kroger rearranged their shelves. Nothing is where it used to be. Even the meats in the coolers were changed. Lots of people wandering around, reading signs above each aisle, which were wrong in some cases.

This morning I asked a little old lady to help me find the cinnamon at Kroger. I'm 75 and don't see well. She was older than me and seemed to enjoy being helpful.

Absolutely, but I also try to respect their independence. It's a fine balance.

I guess it’s nice for people to try and help - did it make you feel about 100 years old though!? 😬

lol I'll help any vulnerable person and I'll risk embarrassing myself and offending them. I hope someone would help me when I need it.

Not a problem. We'll all be there eventually. They're someone's parents and grandparents.

id rarely ask and mostly assume people want to be left alone, but i will if they ask. or seem very lost.

I am the elderly. But if I see someone looking more confused than I am, yes I offer assistance. 😄

I AM the elderly

Of course. Every chance I can.

If they look like they could use some help yes
