Transport-accompagnement pour rendez-vous médicaux
From the member’s home, the volunteer drives the member to their appointment. Depending on their needs, it may not be necessary for the volunteer to enter the building. This service provides security for seniors as well as the opportunity to socialize and choose their own items when shopping. It usually lasts between 3 and 4 hours.
A valid driver’s licence is required. Volunteers would also need to update their insurance policy and inform their provider about their new activities, unless they plan on driving our vehicle.
Accompagnement pour rendez-vous médicaux
This service can be for medical appointments as well as small errands such as groceries, going to the bank or to tax professional offices. Unlike the companionship-transport service, there is no need to drive. This can be done by walking, using public transport or taxi.
Group shopping
The objective of this service is to provide an opportunity to meet and converse with other participants while running errands such as groceries or shopping for other necessary items during an allocated period of time (bank, electronics store, eyewear, etc.). Transportation to and from the shopping center and grocery store is handled by Services Bénévoles aux Aînés.
Festive events
Throughout the year, SBA organizes festive gatherings to socialize and get out of the house: Christmas dinner, sugar shack, end of summer happy hour.
Support for food baskets deliveries
SBA works in partnership with Maison d’Entraide St-Paul et Émard in order to increase the distribution of food aid baskets to local seniors.
