Promedica24 and Driving Miss Daisy announce new partnership
23 May 2022
We are pleased to announce a new and exciting partnership with Driving Miss Daisy to provide a transportation and companionship service for our clients across the UK. This partnership will enhance the quality of the live-in care we provide, enabling those who don’t or are unable to drive to maintain their independence and quality of life.
Our Mission
At Promedica24, it is our mission to ensure the people we support can live happy, healthy and independent lives in the comfort of their own homes. Amongst our clients, many are living with mobility issues or don’t have access to a car, which can limit the things they do both in their local communities and beyond. This partnership will make a great addition to the quality care we provide by giving our clients the option of using the Driving Miss Daisy service for any of their transport needs.
Whether that be a trip to the shops, hospital appointments or days out meeting with friends and family, Companion Drivers from Driving Miss Daisy will be on hand to take our clients anywhere they want to go.
How can Driving Miss Daisy help?
Driving Miss Daisy provides a safe and reliable assisted transportation & companionship service for people, regardless of age or mobility.
Their companion drivers can:
- assist you or a loved one in and out of your home
- accompany you on routine appointments, holidays and day trips
- provide a personalised service based on your preferences and health needs
All their drivers are DBS checked, first aid accredited, trained in moving & handling, and part of Dementia Friends. Most vehicles are wheelchair accessible and designed to be accessible to anyone with mobility issues.
Working in partnership
The Driving Miss Daisy Companions will work in collaboration with our care teams and carers. We can set up a regular pre-booked service for outings you or a loved one wish to do more frequently, book longer journeys, or short trips to provide a helping hand. Our carers can accompany you on your journey if you wish them to join.
Grzegorz Wrzosek, Country Manager at Promedica24, said:
“This partnership cements our commitment to continuously improving the service we provide to our clients and enabling families and their loved ones to live more independent lives. It will make a huge difference to the people we support, particularly for those who don’t drive or have no way of accessing a vehicle, and will give them the freedom to do the things they want to do at their own convenience.”
Greg Blezard, CEO at Driving Miss Daisy Ltd, said:
“This partnership reinforces the core values of our business – to empower people to get out and live life to the full. We can maintain the commitment of trustworthy care by providing safe, licenced and insured vehicles; driven by compassionate and patient companion drivers who always go the extra mile to ensure clients are comfortable and content.”
