SHELBY COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) - A Birmingham-based tech company for senior citizens is having “Seniors’ Free Errand Day.”

Dwell at Home is an app, based in home senior care with a variety of services, from companionship to skilled care, according to CEO Rod Palmer.

The company says Wednesday, March 25 will be an errand day for seniors in Hoover and Pelham. Seniors in this area can go to dwellathome.com, and in the message box type what errand they need, their phone number and address.

“This is something we can do to help seniors that are self quarantining or can’t get to the store,” says Palmer.

Whether it’s picking up dry cleaning, Chinese food or pre-ordered groceries, we want to help. We won’t be able to pick up prescription meds for you, but we can do some running around to keep them safe and at home,” Clark says.

Applications will be taken on the website until Tuesday, March 24 at 8 p.m. Errands will take place from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
