I'm helping an elederly neighbor install a handrail on the backsteps out of their house.

What is the best way to anchor the endpost?
I'm wary of drilling into the bottom step because I don't know how the steps were made and I don't know if they'll hold the vertical post steady - but I could bolt several vertical members into the side of the steps and that might be good enough.
I could also use one of these type of anchors

Dig a hole about 10" wide x 10" and set it in concrete?
If I do it this way only one upright will be secured, of course.
Tying the handrail to the house is pretty easily done, so that part will be very secure.
Any opinions welcome.
Thanks, Mark
