Household help & transportation
A safe, well kept home, and a reliable way to get out of it. Cleaning, laundry and upkeep, plus rides with a caregiver who walks in, waits and sees them home.
Free, no obligation. We'll tell you honestly what we'd recommend, including if that's nothing yet.
What's included
A care plan is built around what your loved one actually needs. This is the range it's drawn from.
Around the house
- Cleaning kitchens, bathrooms and living areas
- Laundry, ironing and putting away
- Changing and making beds
- Dishes and kitchen tidying
- Taking the trash out and bringing bins back
- Keeping stairs, hallways and walkways clear
- Light tidying and organizing
- Checking food dates and clearing what has spoiled
Getting out
- Medical and dental appointments
- Pharmacy pickups
- Grocery shopping and errands
- Church, clubs and social visits
- Salon and personal appointments
- Visits to family and friends
- Help with bags, walkers and steps
- Company for the whole trip, not just the drive
Why these two go together
Most of what keeps an older adult living well at home falls into two jobs: keeping the house safe, and keeping life outside it going. Families often arrange them separately, with a cleaner one day and a ride from someone else the next.
We do both, with the same caregiver wherever we can. The trip to the grocery store and putting the groceries away become one visit. The person driving already knows the house, the routine and what has changed since last week.
A safety service before it is a cleaning one
Falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults, and a great many of them happen because of something ordinary: a rug edge, a cluttered hallway, a basket of laundry on the stairs, a wet patch nobody wiped.
When someone starts struggling, the house usually shows it first. Mail stacking up unopened. A fridge with food well past its date. Families often read that as not coping. Far more often, bending, carrying and standing have simply become hard. Take those off someone's plate and a lot of what looked like decline turns out to have been exhaustion.
The difference from a taxi
A rideshare gets someone to a door. It does not walk them in, sit with them in a waiting room, help at the front desk, carry bags, manage a walker on a curb, or make sure they get back inside the house safely.
Those are the hard parts of leaving the house alone. The driving is usually the easy bit.
Giving up driving is a bigger loss than it looks
Families tend to focus on safety, and they are right to. But for the person handing over the keys, it is rarely about driving. It is about the stores, church, a friend across town, and being able to go without asking anyone.
Reliable rides are what make that decision survivable. Without them, the honest answer to "how will I get there" is that they won't.
Their home, their standards, their week
We work to how your loved one likes things done: which cupboard things live in, which detergent, what gets touched and what absolutely does not. Reorganizing someone's kitchen to a system they did not choose is not help.
Rides are booked around their actual schedule, like the standing Thursday appointment, the Sunday service or the monthly checkup. Across the Twin Cities metro, in all seven counties we serve.
Who this is for
Families noticing the house slipping, and anyone who has stopped driving or knows they should.
