Errands & Transportation in Bellevue

What services are available through Family Resource Home Care in Bellevue?

Assistance with errands, shopping, and transportation in Bellevue is classified as Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). These essential skills enable individuals to live independently and are tasks we typically engage in once we’re up, dressed, and ready to start our day.

At Family Resource, we offer support with these tasks because we recognize that many older adults can maintain their independence with help in managing IADLs. Shopping and errands can be completed either alongside the client or by the caregiver independently.

Examples of the types of Transportation, Errands, and Shopping assistance we provide include but are not limited to:

• Doctor/dental appointments
• Barbershop/hairdresser and nail salon
• Visits to the senior center, family events, and community activities
• Grocery store/pharmacy
• Department store shopping
• Dining out and other leisure activities

Having a trained caregiver in Bellevue ensures that your loved one can move around safely and confidently. When accompanying clients on shopping trips, Family Resource caregivers assist with entering and exiting the vehicle and managing any adaptive equipment, such as walkers and wheelchairs. They can help push grocery carts, carry groceries and other purchases, and organize items once back at home.

When shopping independently, caregivers will visit the client’s preferred store with a list of requested items. They can use cash or a pre-paid store card provided by the client. After the errand or shopping trip, the caregiver will return any remaining funds or change along with the receipt, allowing the client or their family member to reconcile the purchase. Caregivers do not utilize clients’ credit cards or checks.

How do you establish Errand, Shopping, and Transportation Services in Bellevue?

At Family Resource Home Care, we prioritize listening to our clients.

We understand that each client and family has their own unique story. We take the time to learn about the senior’s health history, current lifestyle, interests, and concerns. By collaborating with the senior, we identify their key goals and needs, and we also engage with family members to gain a comprehensive understanding of the client.

Our caregivers are carefully selected through thorough background checks, required references, and in-depth interviews. We work exclusively with caregivers who are genuinely compassionate and dedicated to their clients. Every Family Resource caregiver is trained and has an insured vehicle, ensuring that shopping and errands are convenient. If preferred, we can also arrange for caregivers to drive the client’s car.
