The Service
Driving Miss Daisy is for everyone and anyone who needs it
Whether they are ill, disabled, have special needs, can’t drive to important appointments and events and need a little extra help, Driving Miss Daisy’s Companion Drivers are there for them where and when they need them most. Some of our customers are also busy parents who struggle to drop off or collect their children from school, or who need extra help during certain times of year, or those recovering from illnesses and operations.
Whether it’s accompanying someone to a hospital appointment, helping with the weekly shop, getting them to a social activity, taking a customer on a social outing which might include a coffee or lunch or simply keeping up the routines that make life feel like their own, the focus is always the same: helping people stay independent, with dignity and confidence.
It’s personal, and it’s pre-arranged. Every journey is planned around the individual rather than dispatched at random, and clients see the same trusted people over time rather than a different stranger each visit. That continuity is what turns a service into a relationship, and it’s why clients, their families, and the healthcare professionals who refer them, all come to rely on it.
