John S. Armstrong (President and Primary Caregiver) was born in Hopkins Minnesota. Growing up in a split-level home with his maternal grandparents in the lower level, he has always had a strong connection to older adults. He started his company, Errands and Things as a Limited Liability Company in July 2000. He was encouraged to do so by his clients in the company where he was working at the time. They thought his natural abilities and passion for working with seniors was unique and worth pursuing as a separate business.
Since 2002, he has moved increasingly into memory care work, helping families deal with the challenges of dementia and Alzheimers disease. John has continued his work with memory care clients. He enjoys taking them out of their memory care facility or their homes to play golf, walk, visit parks, movies and lunch and dinner outings.
John has gained so much from getting to know his clients well over the years. He likes to joke that his former client Phil , 92, taught him to how to play golf.
Our company is a proud member of both Minneapolis Area Senior Workers Association and Care Options Network
