Assisting Hands Home Care provides errand & non-medical transportation services for senior citizens and adults with limitations as part of our home care service plans
With transportation and errands services from Assisting Hands Home Care in La Grange, IL, adults with limitations and seniors who do not drive can still get to where they need to and want to go.
We have caregivers who will give elderly individuals rides to family events, religious services, medical appointments, and any other events so they are able to partake in these activities with their loved ones. Furthermore, we can run errands, like going grocery shopping. With these services, seniors can still have the freedom they had when they could drive on their own.
Driving privileges are among one of the activities that seniors commonly give up, because it has either become unsafe or too difficult for them to drive. Elderly individuals may have limited mobility or impaired vision, which hinders their reaction time and ability to drive safely.
Some seniors will understand their need to give up driving, but this isn’t always the case. Others may need convincing. Knowing this, it is essential to speak with elderly relatives about giving up driving if the following regularly happens to them: they lose their keys, run out of gas, get tickets, or get lost often while driving.
During this conversation, emphasize the danger that comes with them continuing to drive and understand that giving up driving means giving up some independence. As such, it can be helpful to have an alternative for them. That way, it doesn’t feel like they’ve completely lost this independence.
