Transportation & Errands Connecticut

Our caregivers provide door-through-door escort to appointments, pharmacy runs, grocery shopping and social outings – with a steady hand and a familiar face at every step.

What do transportation and errand services include?

  • Escorted rides to medical appointments, labs and therapy visits

  • Pharmacy pickups and prescription drop-offs

  • Grocery shopping, with or without the client

Why choose UniversaCare for transportation and errands?
