Our errands and transportation services help seniors maintain some of the independence of driving without putting themselves in danger
Driving is a privilege that gives you the freedom to go anywhere you need to or want to go. Unfortunately, many senior citizens must give up driving as they get older because driving can become a dangerous activity.
Seniors with poor vision are very dangerous behind the wheel as well as seniors who do not have the reaction time that they used to. Approaching your elderly relatives about giving up driving can be difficult, especially if they are not ready to give it up.
However, if your loved one is routinely getting tickets, losing their keys, running out of gas, or getting lost while driving, it is time to talk to them about giving up driving.
If your loved ones are hesitant to give up driving, it helps to discuss the danger they are putting themselves in as well as alternatives to driving.

Our caregivers take your loved ones to doctor appointments and other important events as well as take care of necessary errands like grocery shopping.
These services will allow your elderly loved ones to maintain some of the independence of driving without putting themselves in danger.
