At Kinship Crew, our commitment to providing comprehensive, personalized care extends beyond the home. We understand the importance of enabling seniors to maintain their independence and active lifestyles, which is why we offer a range of transportation and errand services designed to enhance the quality of life for our clients.
Our team of highly qualified caregivers goes above and beyond in assisting seniors with instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) such as running errands, shopping, and transportation needs. We recognize that these tasks are essential for maintaining independence, social connections, and overall well-being, which is why we take great pride in offering tailored solutions that cater to our clients’ individual needs.

The presence of a trained caregiver enables your loved one to move around safely. If shopping accompanies their client, a Kinship Crew caregiver will assist them in getting in and out of the vehicle along with any adaptive equipment they may use including walkers and wheelchairs. Caregivers can push grocery carts and carry purchases before putting away items once they have returned home. Furthermore, if shopping takes place without the client’s direct presence, the caregiver will fulfill the list of needed items using funds provided by the client.
In addition to physical assistance during transportation and errands, our understanding caregivers also provide emotional support by engaging seniors in meaningful conversations during outings. This promotes social interaction while combating any feelings of isolation or loneliness that some seniors may face.
When it comes to tailoring your loved one’s care plan at Kinship Crew, we start by listening carefully as each client has unique needs and preferences. Understanding their health history alongside their current lifestyle allows us to create a customized care plan focused on achieving specific quality-of-life goals while supporting independence. We also engage family members – understanding their perspective is key in building an all-encompassing understanding of each individual client’s needs.
We uphold rigorous standards when selecting our caregivers – thorough background checks combined with required references ensures that every member of Kinship Crew embodies kindness while genuinely caring about their clients. Moreover, many of our caregivers have access to an insured vehicle making shopping trips simple – though arrangements can be made should you prefer they drive your car instead.
At Kinship Crew, we believe that helping seniors maintain autonomy not only brings them joy but affirms their dignity as well. Our team is enthusiastic about crafting care plans designed specifically around your loved one’s wants resulting in high-quality outcomes tailored exclusively for them.
