The weekly shop is more than a practical necessity, for many older Australians, it represents independence, routine and connection to their community. Wisteria's shopping and errands support ensures your loved one stays connected and in control of their own life.
What is Shopping & Errands?
Shopping and errands assistance involves a carer accompanying the client on outings to supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and other destinations, or conducting errands on the client's behalf. It is about preserving the routine, autonomy and community participation that give life meaning and structure.
