Buddy for an 85-year-old lady who is often alone

Who would like to visit her once a week or go out with her with the walker?

The woman (85 years old) would like to occasionally walk to the town center or the Arboretum with someone. She would also appreciate it if a buddy would take her by car to places like De Oude Tol garden center. But she also enjoys simply having a cup of coffee or tea at her home.

The afternoon works best for her, but evenings are also fine, as she finds those the most dreadful hours. If we click, she can talk non-stop. She often finds the beginning difficult.

She can still do a lot on her own and wants to continue doing so for as long as possible. She enjoys doing crossword puzzles. On Wednesday afternoons, she often gets visits from students who bring her soup ("Grandma's soup"). Otherwise, she's often alone.
