Loneliness is indiscriminate. There is an abundance of research on this subject in New Zealand and young people are just as likely to feel lonely as older generations. The level of loneliness in this country is escalating and as anyone who has ever experienced it will agree, the feeling can seem insurmountable once it settles into our lives. This has certainly been exacerbated over the last two years with intermittent lockdowns and peoples’ fear of viruses in our community.

Also, there can be many reasons for being lonely, such as health, mobility impairment, sensory loss, changes to driving ability and bereavement. There are all sorts of things happening as we age which can make getting out of the house increasingly difficult and so social isolation can cause loneliness.

When people are no longer able to drive, that’s where Driving Miss Daisy comes in! Driving Miss Daisy is the connection from home to the community. We make it our priority to ensure each and every journey is filled with laughter, kindness and positivity.

Driving Miss Daisy drivers love to catch up with our clients and will do everything possible to make the journey enjoyable. That can be as simple as a trip to the supermarket or regular hairdresser appointments. Sometimes, it can be more adventurous and include trips further afield; outings to the beach for a breath of fresh air or coffee with friends; anywhere the heart desires.

We are committed to helping our clients get out and about. We’re here to help our clients feel safe and comfortable. Our clients can feel confident there is every protocol in place to keep their trip safe, clean, socially distanced and with vaccinated drivers, so they can live life to the full and make the most of every moment.
Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles are available upon request to assist with walkers or wheelchairs. Total Mobility Scheme cards accepted.
