Where we take you

Giving up driving is one of the hardest losses of getting older, and it is often the moment a person starts to withdraw. We drive, we help in and out, and we stay for the appointment or the errand, so the trip is company as well as transport.
  • Doctor appointments
  • Medical and health appointments
  • Hair appointments
  • Personal care appointments
  • Store errands
  • Community outings

How a trip works

This is door-through-door, not curb-to-curb. The caregiver comes into the home, helps with coats and keys, walks your loved one to the car and helps them in. At the other end they go in with them, wait, and bring them home again. If there are instructions from the appointment, you hear about them the same day.

Trips can stand alone or be part of a regular visit. A morning that includes a shower, breakfast and a ride to the clinic is a common pattern.

We plan the timing honestly. Getting a person with a walker into a car and across a parking lot takes longer than it used to, and rushing is how people fall.

Who it helps

  • Someone who has stopped drivingAppointments still happen, groceries still get bought, and the world does not shrink to the four walls of the house.
  • Families who cannot take the time offA specialist appointment on a Tuesday morning does not have to cost you a day of work.
  • Veterans with VA appointmentsTransport to the VA, with the waiting included.
  • Anyone who wants to get outChurch, the salon, a walk in the park, a visit to a friend. Staying home should not mean staying in.

What your first visit looks like

  • We meet at homeCharlotte visits and talks through where your loved one needs to go, how often, and what help they need getting there.
  • We check the practical thingsMobility aids, the route in and out of the house, and any medical instructions that affect travel.
  • We write it into the planRegular trips and one-off appointments, agreed in writing with the rest of the care.
  • You meet the caregiverThe person who will be driving is introduced before the first trip.

Safety on the road

Our caregivers drive carefully, secure walkers and wheelchairs properly, and allow time rather than make it up on the road. If a wheelchair-accessible vehicle is needed, tell us at the first visit and we will say plainly what we can arrange.

Questions families ask

Do you wait during the appointment?
Yes. The caregiver stays, waits, and brings your loved one home. If the appointment produces instructions, we pass them on the same day.
Whose car do you use?
Usually the caregiver's. If your loved one would rather travel in their own car, tell us at the first visit and we will agree it in the plan.
Is transportation billed differently?
Trips are part of the caregiver's time, like the rest of the visit. Mileage is set out plainly in your service agreement before anything starts, so there are no surprises on the bill.
Can you take my mother shopping every week?
Yes. Regular errands are one of the most common things we do, and one of the most enjoyed.
