I to am not crazy about the idea of someone getting on the bike without me being there to steady it. Read(I don't trust the kick stand either)
The reason I recommended a step: my mom is 75, and aunt mary 76, they get into my 3/4 ton 4x4 pickup often and feel very safe on that stool, they won't use the aluminum step that's on my truck?

Plus they get the royal treatment of me opening the door for them and assisting...LOL
