Rachel Williams has a master plan for staying healthy and spry at 89 that revolves around a ping-pong-playing robot. She bought the Zxmoto ping-pong machine for $200 in 2020 to help maintain her mental and physical fitness after the pandemic shut down the gym at her senior living community in Lancaster, Pa. She carries it from her apartment to what is called the Pong Zone in her complex to train for regional and national competitions.

Mary Barket, a 66-year-old widow with a degenerative muscular disorder and no family around to help, has had seven different caregivers come through her home in the past six months.
