Elder Services
GoodDeeds is passionate about helping elders achieve and enjoy an independent lifestyle; and we appreciate that there are many types of services with which elders may need assistance.
For instance, some may need help researching assisted living options, moving or downsizing, or with estate sales. Others may require assistance paying monthly bills, making travel arrangements or purchasing gifts. For family members who live out of town or are not always available, we can provide comfort and relieve stress with getting loved ones to and from the airport or to important appointments.
GoodDeeds offers a calming, friendly and trusted resource to help elders continue to feel competent, independent, and cared for — bringing peace of mind to adult children (and other caretakers) who need support and assistance for their aging parents.
