We have some runs of visits but these do require a driver because they aren't all in the same area. We do provide sufficient travel time though so you aren't rushed getting from one visit to the next and you don't have to jeopardise the quality of care you are giving.

We need drivers because our visits are not walkable. Our minimum visit time currently is one hour and some visits are longer to spend quality time with our clients, enabling them to access the community, helping with shopping and providing companionship.
