Transportation

Many elderly people hate that they can no longer drive. It means that some places they used to go to regularly are less accessible to them now, if accessible at all. Depending on the vicinity of facilities such as the hospital or the mall, some elderly people are unable to tend to their everyday needs, such as shopping for groceries or going to the doctor. In most cases, they are confined to their homes and dependent on family members for transportation. However willing family members may be to help, their daily schedules often make it impossible to fully assist their elderly loved one, who’s left waiting at home, possibly missing doctor’s appointments.

The following are just a few of the transportation services that caregivers provide:

• Taking your family member to scheduled doctor’s appointments
• Being there to pick up your loved one from the hospital after surgery
• Accompanying your loved one to the actual appointment instead of just dropping them off at their desired destination
• Driving your family member to the doctor, the store, family outings, the bank, the drugstore, and making arrangements for other personal errands as needed
• Traveling with your loved one on trips located in the US. This will include going through the whole travel experience such as luggage claim and check in processes, just to name a few. A caregiver also makes sure to remind your loved one to take their medicine while traveling, make car rental reservations, and be available when needed.

In addition to helping seniors move around, caregivers can assist with:

• Efficient light housekeeping
• Staying on track with medication schedules
• Full-service house cleaning for their elderly client
• Caring for clients during post-surgery recovery
