 Life without a Car
|
Throughout our lives we all want to stay connected with friends and family, maintain our independence and keep doing the things we enjoy. There are many options that enable us to maintain our independence and keep doing the things we enjoy when we no longer drive a car. Many people of all ages get around without using a car for a variety of reasons. Reducing or stopping driving does not need to be a limiting factor that prevents you doing what you want, but it helps to think ahead about your future transport needs. The information provided in this booklet will highlight options for older New Zealanders to remain active and connected. This will include some things to consider about where you live, community and public transport services, recreation activities as well as social outings |
The best thing about being a Daisy, is that I get to make a difference in the East Auckland community, every day. Whether it’s taking a client to visit a loved one or a special event, getting their ‘pick me up’ haircut, or an important appointment, my team and I ensure the client gets where they need to be, on time and feeling relaxed.
Driving Miss Daisy can drive you, your parents, or your children. It’s my personal promise that our team will be caring, professional and trustworthy, so you can be rest assured if we’re looking after your loved ones.
As a wrap around, companion driving service, we do the ‘little extras’ that can help a lot – carrying the groceries in, helping to find the right ward in a confusing hospital or running in to pick something up. We regularly take clients to Manukau Superclinic, Auckland Hospital and Middlemore Hospital. We know our way around the local East Auckland rest homes and retirement villages too and can help with family and other social outings too.
Just let us know your requirements when you pre-book the appointment.
We are an ACC contracted supplier, and accept TMS (Total Mobility Scheme) cards, which makes our personal service even more affordable.
Wheelchairs and walkers are no problem for our team. We have a wheelchair accessible vehicle too.
Please don’t hesitate to call and chat through your requirements, we’d love to help.
