A little Thursday feel-good moment! ๐Ÿ’›

There's nothing quite like receiving lovely feedback from the families we support.

This heartfelt testimonial reminds us why we do what we do. It's about so much more than getting from A to B. It's about building relationships, offering companionship, and helping people maintain their independence and enjoy what matters to them.

For Sam and the team at Driving Miss Daisy New Forest, becoming a trusted part of someone's weekly routine is something truly special.

A huge thank you to this lovely family for their kind words and for trusting us to be par of their journey. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒผ

October sunshine, sea air and ice-creams! ๐Ÿฆ

Last Thursday, we enjoyed a trip to the seafront with one of our clients, sharing ice-creams in the sunshine and hardly believing it was October.

Sometimes, it's the simple pleasures that make an outing special: a change of scenery, a good chat and someone to enjoy it all with. ๐Ÿ’™

On World Mental Health Day, we're reminded that connection and companionship can make a meaningful difference to our wellbeing.

At Driving Miss Daisy New Forest every journey is companion-led. We take the time to listen, offer support and help our clients stay connected to the people, places and activities that matter to them.

Sometimes, a little company can make a big difference.

The New Forest has some extra residents at this time of year! ๐Ÿ–
It's pannage season, when local commoners turn out their pigs to forage for fallen acorns. It's a lovely Forest tradition with a practical purpose: acorns can be harmful to ponies and cattle.

If you're lucky enough to see the piggies on an outing, enjoy watching them from a distance and please don't feed or touch them.

A gentle drive through the Forest, perhaps with a stop for coffee, can be a wonderful way to enjoy what's happening locally. Our companion drivers can help make the whole outing feel comfortable and unhurried.

Have you booked your flu jab or seasonal vaccination?

Driving Miss Daisy New Forest can support the whole journey - from helping you leave home safely to accompanying you into reception and making sure you are comfortably home again.

Our companion drivers provide practical help, patience and reassurance throughout the appointment, so you don't have to manage the journey alone.

Today we're celebrating grandparents and all special moments they bring to family life ๐Ÿ’™

From birthday lunches and family celebrations to school events, we help grandparents get there comfortably, enjoy the occasion without anyone feeling rushed and allow generations to get together.

Happy Grandparents Day from everyone at Driving Miss Daisy New Forest.

Today is International Day of Older Persons - Driving Miss Daisy New Forest celebrates the experience, stories and contribution of older people in our communities.

Whether it's an important appointment, lunch with family or simply a welcome trip out, our companion drivers are here to make every journey feel comfortable, supported and personal.

Sometimes you want to be there - but you simply can't.
Perhaps Mum has a hospital appointment while you're at work.
Dad needs to pick something up from town.
Or someone you love would simple enjoy getting out of the house for a few hours, but you're miles away.

That's where a little extra support can make a big difference.

Our Companion Drivers don't simply provide a journey. We can stay alongside our clients, help them during their outing or appointment and make sure they're safely home again afterwards.

For our clients, that means independence and companionship.

And for their families, gives reassurance and peace of mind.

For someone living with dementia, even an everyday journey can sometimes feel unfamiliar or overwhelming.

Having a calm, familiar and reassuring person alongside them can make that experience a little easier.

Driving Miss Daisy New Forest's approach is with patience, dignity and understanding - by taking things at the individual's pace and recognising that every person is different.

Today we're thinking of everyone living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, as well as the families, friends and carers supporting them every day.

Some journeys mean so much more than simply getting from A to B. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒผ

We were delighted to help Rose's mum attend a very special family occasion, with Martin there to provide the practical support and reassurance she needed throughout the day.

Thank you, Rose, for such lovely words - and for trusting Sam and the Driving Miss Daisy New Forest team to be part of such an important occasion.
