Grocery Shopping & Prescription Pickups for Seniors
For those who no longer drive their own vehicles, or those who suffer from mobility and strength limitations, everyday tasks like going to get the groceries or pickup prescriptions can feel like climbing a mountain.
Qualicare strives to relieve as much of the physical and mental burdens that our clients face in their daily life. This includes frequent errands like grocery shopping for seniors or medication pickup services, which can feel overwhelming for some clients to manage on their own.
Our goal is to bring your entire family peace of mind that your loved one is always getting the care and support they need, regardless of whether they’re living at home or in a residential care facility.
Our Grocery Shopping Assistance & Prescription Pickup Services for Seniors
As we age, routine errands that used to be easy or even fun to do on a weekly/monthly basis can become a frustrating ordeal; especially when transportation and mobility add additional levels of difficulty to these types of tasks.
Our grocery shopping service for seniors takes all the frustration and dangers out of clients doing the shopping themselves, and our caregivers are always happy to bring in the groceries and put them away for clients, so that their living space stays organized and tidy.
Prescription pickup and delivery services save our clients from having to make their way to the pharmacy every time they need a medication refill. It also saves them money paying pharmacy delivery fees on top of their monthly medication costs.
Benefits of Grocery Shopping Assistance for Seniors
Food is one of the great joys in life, and Qualicare knows how important cooking and enjoying delicious, healthy meals can be for a client’s quality of daily life.
For seniors that are beginning to struggle with mobility, memory, or have limited strength, going to the store to do the grocery shopping can become a nightmare. There are so many options for almost every product that just deciding what brands to choose can be confusing and exhausting.
Pushing a grocery cart full of food around a store (or multiple stores) takes strength, which may be too much for those that have limited mobility.
Our caregivers take all the anxiety out of grocery shopping assistance for elderly clients. We’ll work with clients to create their grocery list (based on their dietary needs ), and then our caregivers will go to the store to pick up everything, so clients can stay safe and comfortable at home
Benefits of Prescription Pickup and Delivery Services
Between reduced pharmacy hours and the difficulty of reaching these storefronts, prescription pickup and delivery services are often considered one of the most valuable forms of shopping assistance for elderly clients.
Clients can have their prescription refilled by calling into the pharmacy and if there is a need to contact the doctor, a caregiver can assist with that communication. Their caregiver will then plan to go and provide a medication pickup service, so that the client never has to worry about going out to get it themselves.
This means no more missed medications or forgotten refills, which could have a negative impact on a client’s health or medical treatment plans. Our caregivers give you the peace of mind that your loved one’s prescriptions will always be filled promptly and delivered directly to them.

Medication & Prescription Services Frequently Asked Questions:
Where Can Qualicare Clients Access Medication Pickup & Grocery Shopping Services for Seniors?
We can help with medication pickup services and grocery shopping assistance for seniors living at home, or within retirement communities.
Can Clients Join Caregivers When They’re Picking Up Groceries or Prescriptions?
The answer of this question is very dependent on the situation, because Qualicare must always put the comfort and safety of our clients at the top of our priorities list. If a client is still very mobile and wishes to assist with grocery shopping, caregivers may be able to provide transportation to the store for them and lend a helping hand with pushing the cart.
Because each client and their needs are unique, we must evaluate their cases individually. This way, clients don’t take unnecessary risks but can still maintain as much independence in their daily lives as possible.
Will Clients Be Able to Help Make Their Own Grocery Lists?
Yes, they will. Depending on whether the client is having meals prepared for them through Qualicare, or they only require a bit of help with picking up their ingredients from the grocery store, our caregivers are always happy to help.
Meal planning and cooking (when safe to do so) are great ways for seniors to keep active in their home. Our team will do our best to facilitate this for our clients whenever possible.
What if the Store is Sold Out of Something a Client Requests?
Our caregivers are skilled at finding alternatives to specific client requests, and when a suitable other option isn’t available, we’ll work with our clients to find a solution that won’t impact their meal plan or preferences.
How Do Caregivers Know How to Offer Transfer Assistance Safely?
Qualicare’s caregivers are all trained and experienced specialists, who have been shown the safest, most comfortable ways to assist clients with mobility assistance and transfers. This way, they can ensure not only the client’s safety during transfers, but also their comfort throughout their day-to-day activities.
