Most elders lack social interaction opportunities, especially if they live alone.  An in-home caregiver provides companionship to your loved ones, having a positive effect on their health and life.  

7. Transportation Assistance Needs.  Some are not in a position to drive safely and getting in and out of the vehicle may be challenging.  A professional caregiver can offer safe transportation, as well as accompany your loved ones to doctor's appointments, social events, shopping, and errands. This kind of assistance can enable your loved one to stay active in a world outside their home.
