Getting to the appointment is half the appointment

Medical appointments are where a lot of care quietly falls apart. The specialist is across the city, parking is a nightmare, and your father comes home unable to say what was decided.

What our caregivers do

• Drive, or accompany on DATS if that is arranged.
• Bring the medication list and the list of questions you wrote down.
• Sit in on the appointment if your parent agrees, and take notes.
• Pick up the prescription on the way home.
• Send you a short summary the same day.

Why it matters

Doctors make decisions on the information in front of them. A patient who cannot remember what they take, or who says they are fine because they are embarrassed, gets worse care. A caregiver who knows the routine is a better historian than a worried relative who was not there on Tuesday.

Booking

Give us the appointment as soon as you have it. Daylight slots in winter, please, if you have a choice.
