About this service
Errands are where independence often starts to slip quietly. A parent may be managing at home but struggling with crowded stores, heavy bags or parking. Our caregivers can run errands on your parent's behalf, or go with them so they can still choose their own groceries and enjoy getting out of the house.
What’s included
- Driving to and from grocery stores, pharmacies, post offices, dollar stores and clothing stores
- Picking up items from a list your parent provides
- Collecting pre-ordered items, contactless if needed
- Dropping off and picking up packages
- Carrying groceries and items into the home
- Putting things away and helping organize the groceries
When families call us
- A parent who has stopped driving
- Heavy bags or long walks through stores
- A fridge that is often empty
- Family who live too far away to shop each week
How it works
Book shopping and errands by the hour, starting from a one-hour visit, with no weekly minimum and no long-term contract. One hourly rate covers every Carenami service. Your dedicated Care Captain matches your parent with a background-checked caregiver, keeps the same caregiver on the schedule wherever possible, and adjusts the plan as needs change.
