I left the UK in 1982 and I can still envision this. I don’t think anything like this exists in the US. Some countries do a lot better job of taking care of the elderly. You’re really lucky if you know your neighbors these days. An expat in Florida.

I Have No Control Over The Adverts😭😭 rb.gy/ixs3w BBC RADIO DRAMA💖 rb.gy/dma1xh With: Thora Hird as Mam Brian Wilde as Dad Imelda Staunton as June Directed by Matthew Walters. Thirty-Minute Theatre: Tue 18th Apr 1989 15:00 on BBC Radio 4 FM The social services department of the council is preparing a register of the elderly in the area and eager but green June Potter (recently transfered from transport) is despatched to gather information while obtaining some hands-on-experience. Mam and Dad are in their 60s and therefore must be in need of registering - but Mam and Dad, perfectly alert, able-bodied and streetwise have no intention of being registered. Thrown by Mam's no-nonsense approach, the increasingly desperate June resorts to Mr Farquarson's detailed notes on Conducts of Interviews, while Mam sorts her out. This comic, ironic look at patronizing bureaucracy was first televised in 1982.

I heard this many many years ago, and it was a pleasure to revisit it. Thank you.
Food for thought 😊
Yes, one of the biggest killers is loneliness.
Enjoyed this audio.
