data-contrast=\"none\">One of our caregivers goes with your parent to an appointment, an errand or an outing and stays with them for the whole trip, from getting ready at home to walking back through the front door. They take care of the small jobs, like coats, bags and finding the right door, so your parent can focus on the visit.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:140}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Out and about, we work the same way we do in your parent&#8217;s home, through Interactive Caregiving\u2122, which means doing things with a person rather than for them. If your mother likes to choose her own produce or pay at the till herself, our caregiver leaves that to her and steps in only where she wants a hand.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:140}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Accompaniment is non-medical support.

Our caregiver can help your parent confirm the time and address, lay out clothes for the weather, and gather what they need to bring, including their medications or a current medication list.

When family cannot be there and your parent would like support remembering the visit, the caregiver can write down information your parent asks them to note, without interpreting medical advice, so your parent has a record to keep at home. Your parent stays in charge of their own care: questions, answers and decisions are between them and their clinician.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:140}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">We can also go along to the pharmacy, the grocery store, the bank or the hairdresser, carry the bags, help read small print on labels and keep an unhurried pace.
