Our Services

Senior Errands and Transportation Sun Prairie, WI

Errand support means the running-around gets done — prescriptions picked up, groceries bought, dry cleaning dropped off and appointments driven to — with or without your loved one along for the ride. We offer it to seniors in Sun Prairie and nearby Dane County communities.

Driving is often the first thing to become stressful, especially in a Wisconsin winter or after dark. Rather than letting errands pile up or asking adult children to take another afternoon off work, Caring Companion handles them on a schedule that suits the household.

We can run errands solo with a list — a prescription pickup on Main Street, a grocery run, returns at the library on Linnerud Drive — or bring your loved one along so the trip doubles as an outing and a chance to choose their own produce, greeting cards or new reading glasses. For medical and dental appointments around Sun Prairie and the east side of Madison we provide transportation with the client's car if they have one; otherwise we can provide the vehicle, help getting in and out of the building, and a familiar face in the waiting room.

Families comparing caregiver services often underestimate how much steadiness this adds to a week. Knowing the prescriptions will be picked up on time removes one more worry from everyone's list.

Errand service questions

What kinds of errands can you run?

Everyday practical ones: prescription pickups, grocery shopping, dry cleaning, the post office or bank, replacing household necessities, and driving to and from appointments. If it is a routine errand a family member would otherwise take on, it is likely something we can cover.

Do errands have to be booked in advance?

Standing weekly errand runs work best for prescriptions and groceries, but plenty of families use us for occasional or short-notice requests such as an appointment that just got scheduled. Availability is Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm, and we confirm each trip with you beforehand.

Do you offer a medical transport service?

No. This is a non-medical service. We drive to and from appointments typically with our client's vehicle and offer steady, friendly support along the way.  We do not provide wheelchair-van transport, medical monitoring, or any hands-on clinical assistance.
