About shopping and errands
The weekly shop, collecting prescriptions, trips to the post office, returning library books, and the small jobs that pile up.
Questions families ask
How should we handle money for shopping?
Keep it simple: a set amount of cash, receipts kept, and a notebook to jot it down. Never share a PIN or bank card details.
Can a carer collect prescriptions?
Usually, yes. Let the pharmacy know who will be collecting.
Is it better to shop together?
If your loved one is up to it, yes: it's an outing and they get to choose. On harder days, a list works fine.
