Plan across the south valley
If a parent is in Sandy and relatives rotate from Draper, South Jordan or Riverton, assign responsibilities around the routes people already drive. Leave a buffer for trips across the valley and schedule around the task that needs a fixed time.
Example: One relative handles a regular pharmacy pickup on their commute. A second takes responsibility for a check-in and meal preparation on the day nobody is nearby.
Three questions to answer this week
- Which visit has to happen at a set time?
- Who already drives past the pharmacy?
- Who covers the day no one is nearby?
Local starting point
Sandy Senior Center. Ask about current programs and transportation availability before building either into your schedule.
