CONCIERGE SERVICES

Whenever I travel to a new state, country or province and I need to find my way around I can always count on the Concierge for directions, recommendations of places to eat, etc.

Lately I've noticed a there are more and more concierge services popping up to help people and more specifically our parents do odd jobs, organize their homes, downsize, get groceries, etc.

What a great idea!

We're all busy running from here to there, getting this or that and often we don't have time to take Mom or Dad shopping when they want to go. Or if we live in another city - we aren't able to zip to the store for them or help them get this or that.

Check out Extra You.net - they've got this covered in the Virginia area. A little closer to home - that being Winnipeg we've got Concierge One a flourishing business owned and operated by Heather Hlady and Moray Merchant. While they may not specialize in seniors - they do offer services that they can definitely take advantage of like: snow clearing, cleaning and organizing, shopping and much more. If you have a minute - check them out - you'll be glad you did.
