Now, those few facilities with enough money, will need to hire Security Guards and an SUV Driver to drive these elders to the grocery store, vs expecting them to walk the distance.
Many elders who are in the habit of walking to the store want to take that opportunity to get out independently for a short while. They wish to pass by familiar sites in their community, maybe even see a friend or two along the way.
They do not wish to be coccooned, cloistered and forgotten while still living in their neighborhoods.
Buy a few Cane Corsos for the seniors to check out, like a library card. They return them upon a safe return to the facility.
