Alzheimer's and Dementia Support at Home

Memory Care That Keeps Your Loved One at Home

Errand Runners Unlimited provides in-home memory care for people living with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other memory loss in Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Danville, Orinda, Alamo, Pleasant Hill, Pleasanton and nearby East Bay towns. Our caregivers are trained to support people with memory loss, and we send the same caregivers whenever possible, because a familiar face matters even more when memory is changing.

Memory care does not have to mean moving into a facility. For many families, care at home keeps a loved one in the place they know best, with their own routines, their own things and the people they love close by. Care starts at $50 an hour with no long-term contracts. Home care services are provided through ERU Home Care LLC, a California-licensed Home Care Organization (HCO #074700183).

Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish! I had the pleasure of coordinating with Joelene, the owner of Errand Runners Unlimited, for an early morning donut pick-up from two different shops with delivery to the Public Defender’s Office in Marin County. Joelene was nothing short of exceptional—professional, kind, attentive, and an absolute godsend in helping me make this happen seamlessly.

For almost a year and a half, Errand Runners has provided outstanding care for my dad. The caregivers consistently demonstrate kindness, patience, attentiveness, and genuine companionship. Joelene has also been an incredible source of support, always responsive and dedicated to ensuring my dad receives the best possible care. I'm deeply grateful for the entire team and highly recommend Errand Runners to anyone seeking trustworthy, compassionate care for a loved one.

Joelene and her team are truly lifesavers! Being out of state, it was hard to be of help to my elderly mother. Errand Runners to the rescue! They do everything from tidying up to taking mom for a fun day out to -of course-running errands! Joelene is such a caring person and very responsive. I’d give 10 stars if I could! Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Joelene and her team did an excellent job caring for my mom during her time in hospice until she passed. The 24 hour care provided by Joelene, Gloria, Sarah, Kayla, and Lena was outstanding. They are professional, compassionate and were an incredible help through the most stressful time of my life. I highly recommend their services.

What Memory Care at Home Looks Like

Steady Routines, Gentle Support and a Familiar Face

Our caregivers help with the parts of the day that have become hard to manage: bathing, dressing and grooming, meals and fluids, medication reminders, light housekeeping and laundry. They keep the day on a steady routine, offer companionship and conversation, and stay alert to wandering, falls and changes in mood or behavior.

We can also drive your loved one to appointments, pick up prescriptions and run errands, so nothing falls through the cracks. Our care is non-medical. We work alongside your loved one’s doctors, nurses and hospice team, and we keep the family informed about how things are going.

Support for the Whole Family

A Few Hours a Week, Respite Breaks or Care Around the Clock

Every family’s situation is different, and dementia care needs change over time. Some families start with a few hours a week so a spouse or adult child can rest, work or take care of their own life. Others need daily visits, or care around the clock as memory loss progresses. If you are the main caregiver, respite care gives you a break while your loved one stays safe at home.

We start with a conversation with you and your family, build a care plan around your loved one’s routine, and adjust it as needs change. All clients pay the same hourly rates, whatever level of care is needed. We accept long-term care insurance, and veterans get 15% off.

“The owner listens and got me a wonderful helper. My husband has Alzheimer’s. I couldn’t be happier! Both women that have come have been compassionate and caring.”
