Assistance with transportation and shopping is available to anyone with a loss of physical or cognitive autonomy who requires assistance to leave their home to attend appointments or perform certain tasks.

Transportation assistance can take the form of accompanying the person to a medical appointment, a leisure activity, or simply to a location of their choice. The caregiver can use their own car, the client's car, a taxi, or public transportation. During the appointment, the caregiver can accompany the person receiving care to ensure their safety, if necessary.

When it comes to shopping assistance, the caregiver may accompany the person being cared for to the grocery store or market, or simply assist with placing an online order. Other related tasks may include helping with planning a grocery list or putting away groceries.
