Areas of Practice
transportation
At a typical visit to provide transportation, an ElderCARE volunteer escorts you to their vehicle, takes you to your medical appointment, and returns you back home. ElderCARE also assists with drop-off and pick-up from lengthy appointments, such as dialysis.
grocery shopping
Do you need assistance getting to your grocery store? Access to healthy food is important. Through ElderCARE grocery shopping service, volunteers take your grocery list and make the trip to the store for you. You pay for the groceries, and the service is free.
friendly visit/phone call
