​ERRAND/APPOINTMENT SERVICES
Always taking care of your daily needs
​
At Heavenly Blessed Care, our qualified caregivers can help your family or loved one by doing the shopping and errands for them or by providing the transportation and assistance required by the person to accomplish these tasks themselves.
​
Help with errands, shopping, and transportation falls under the category of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). These are the complex skills that are necessary in order to live independently and that all of us do once we are up, out of bed, dressed, and ready to start our day.
​
HBC provides assistance with these tasks because we understand that many older adults can continue to live independently when they have help with IADLs. Shopping and errands can be done either with the client or by the caregiver alone.
​
Examples of the types of Transportation, Errands, and Shopping assistance we provide include but are not limited to:
​
♥ Accompanying to doctor/dental appointments.
♥ Visits to the senior center.
♥ Family events and community activities.
♥ Grocery store, bank, and pharmacy.
♥ Department store shopping.
♥ Dining out and other leisure activities.
​
The presence of a trained caregiver enables your loved one to move around safely. If shopping with their client, a Family Resource caregiver will assist their client with getting in and out of the vehicle, along with any adaptive equipment they may use including walkers and wheelchairs. Caregivers can push grocery carts, carry groceries and other purchases, and put things away once they have returned home.
​
Every client and family is different and has their own story to tell. We learn all we can about the individual from their health history to current lifestyle, interests, and concerns. We work with your loved one to determine what goals are important to them and what needs they have. We’ll also talk to family members to learn more and build a complete understanding of the client.
