The Importance of Reliable Transportation
Help a Loved One Access Food, Medications & Essentials
When your loved one receives in-home care outside of a nursing home or institutional setting, it is important to remember that he or she still requires reliable transportation to obtain groceries, visit the doctor, pick up medications, and take care of other essential tasks. Aside from the necessities of life, getting out of the house also helps our clients maintain a sense of dignity and independence.
Minimize Depression, Isolation & Declining Health
Some things that we tend to take for granted, such as being able to select a birthday card and mail it or selecting our own groceries, can significantly improve the life quality of our older family members. The availability of reliable transportation also helps guard against depression, isolation, and declining health. If a loved one requires transportation, please let us know.
