💙Sometimes, the hardest part of the day is getting out the front door.

A coffee with a friend. A visit to family. A favourite hobby. A walk by the beach. A community group you've been meaning to get back to. These simple moments of connection can make a real difference.

At Driving Miss Daisy, we know our role is about so much more than transport. Our drivers offer a friendly face, a listening ear, and reliable support to help people stay connected to the people, places, and activities that bring them joy. Whether it's a regular outing, a social catch-up, or simply getting out of the house, we're proud to help make those moments possible because no one should have to face isolation alone.

This World Mental Health Day, let's check in on one another, make time for connection, and remember that sometimes the smallest outing can make the biggest difference. 💚💙🚙

Happy New Zealand Grandparents Day!

Whether Grandparents by blood or Grandparents by love, we celebrate these special people today 💙

For those that have Grandparents in their lives, visit them if you can and give them a big kiss and hug, or give them a call...tell them that you love them! 🥰

Driving Miss Daisy would like to wish all the Grandparents of New Zealand a truly wonderful day. We appreciate all the strength, guidance and love that you give.

Today we celebrate the International Day of Older Person

A time to celebrate the value of older people and acknowledge their contributions to our communities; in the work place, as volunteers, as caregivers and as whole people, with dreams, aspirations, wisdom and experience.

International Day of the Older Persons was observed for the first time in 1991 so has been running for over 30 years. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness about the issues affecting older persons. It also provides an opportunity to take steps to demonstrate respect. Older people are caretakers and custodians of traditions and so much knowledge and information are held within their experiences and memory.

Tomorrow is International Coffee Day! ☕️

Let’s go grab a coffee! Or better yet, let us take you to grab a coffee with friends 💛

Did you know you can even share the ride? We can pick you up and collect your friends on the way, so you can enjoy the journey together as much as the coffee.

Because good coffee is even better when it’s shared 🚗✨

"The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do: A Dementia Diagnosis Matters"

Never too early, never too late. Driving Miss Daisy Drivers are all Dementia Friends, providing a valuable service for people living with dementia by offering not just transportation, but also companionship, support, and a personalised approach to help them maintain their independence and quality of life. World Alzheimer's Month/ Day is about raising awareness about the importance of early diagnosis and the need for continued support throughout the progression of Alzheimer's and other dementias. Let's break the stigma and support those living with Alzheimer's and other Dementias. 💜

When do you have the chat with your parents?

No, not that chat… the one about whether it might be time to give up the car keys. 🚙🔑

For many older people, driving means freedom and independence. So giving up the keys can feel like giving up much more than a car.

Start the conversation early, listen to their concerns, and most importantly have an alternative ready.

At Driving Miss Daisy, we can help keep your loved one connected, independent and safely out and about. 💙🌼

Because independence doesn’t have to end when driving does.

We’re at the Driving Miss Daisy Conference in Christchurch this weekend, spending time with Daisies from around New Zealand. 🌼🌼

It’s a great opportunity to share ideas, learn from each other and celebrate the people and stories that make Driving Miss Daisy so special.

We’re looking forward to bringing new ideas and energy back to our area.
