SHOPPING SERVICES WE PROVIDE
ESCORTED SERVICES
These services are ideal for individuals who are able to go out but may need extra assistance with transport and moving around the store. We offer one-to-one support, where an Altrua Care team member assists with shopping, as well as group shopping trips. Alongside shopping support, these outings give people, especially those who live alone, a chance to get out and socialise.
HOME DELIVERY SERVICES
For those who are housebound and unable to do their own shopping, Altrua Care works closely with them to create a shopping list, and their groceries are then delivered directly to their home.

INTERNET SHOPPING SERVICES
Some local Altrua Care services offer food shopping using supermarkets’ online stores. Orders are placed on behalf of the service user, and delivery is arranged at an agreed date and time. This allows individuals to enjoy the benefits of online shopping, even if they do not have internet access, while ensuring a regular food supply that they control. A small charge may apply for these services to help cover costs, such as fuel or delivery fees.

WHY CAN FOOD SHOPPING BECOME DIFFICULT LATER ON IN LIFE?
Research shows that many older people encounter barriers to food shopping: Around 19% of people aged 80-84 report difficulty grocery shopping, increasing to 60% for those over 90.
CHALLENGES INCLUDED:
Difficulty reaching shops, particularly for individuals in rural areas or without personal transport.
Challenging store layouts, including high or low shelves and limited rest facilities.
Strenuous carrying of goods to and from shops.
Some individuals find online shopping difficult or prefer the social interaction that comes with in-person shopping.
