ABOUT

ABOUT with Adele is here to help you stay connected within your community. Enjoy a companion driving service with the peace of mind that comes from being accompanied by a registered nurse – whether you need it or not. I am Police Vetted, CPR trained and hold a passenger endorsed license with NZTA.

I'm Adele, the proud owner of ABOUT – Manawatū's newest companion driving service, established in September 2025. I live near Feilding with my husband on a small farm. Our three adult children have flown the nest. When I'm not driving, I love travelling, gardening, crafting and spending time with family and friends. My loyal companion Maisie is a lovable Cavoodle and often joins me on journeys. If possible (and OK with you) you might even meet her! I am looking forward to meeting new people as we travel along together.


What ABOUT Offers

By appointment, I am able to provide assistance with travel to appointments and other daily activities such as:

Transport Services

  • Visiting family & friends
  • Medical appointments
  • The supermarket
  • School
  • After school activities
  • The airport/bus/train station
  • Dance class
  • A funeral
  • The hairdressers

Companion Services

  • Assistance with grocery shopping
  • Respite care – caring for a loved one can be demanding. I can provide caregiver relief; you may need to attend to other responsibilities, or a chance to simply recharge
  • Outing to a café, beach ride, scenic drive – you choose. Why not pair up with a friend to share costs?
  • Accompanying you on a Doctor’s visit (as an RN I’m happy to be a second pair of ears)

  • Transport and companion services are offered wherever you need them – in the Manawatū and beyond.

    I invite you to come out and ABOUT with me and live life to the fullest, maintaining important interests and friendships by attending activities in the community. Don’t let your lack of transport stop you from living.

    Please get in touch to discuss your needs – ABOUT would love to help.
