To borrow a phrase from the Beatles, life is a long and winding road. For many older travelers however, their days behind the wheel may have taken a detour. Most senior citizens ultimately stop driving due to a range of physical, cognitive, vision, or safety-related factors. For some, a recent accident or traffic citation may have served as a wake-up call, while others may discontinue driving at the recommendation of a doctor or pleas from concerned family members. Furthermore, some seniors arrive at the decision to put it in park on their own, driven by anxiety, declining confidence, the cost of owning and operating a vehicle, or the availability of having alternative transportation options that meet their needs.
Everything we do at Senior LIFE is aimed at helping seniors stay in their homes. But we also realize that you have places you need to be. That’s why as part of Senior LIFE’s comprehensive continuum of care we offer transportation services not only to our LIFE Health and Wellness Centers, but also to and from all medical appointments and other pre-approved destinations – all at no cost!
Senior LIFE drivers are dependable, caring, and offer “through the door” service to always ensure seniors arrive safely at their destination. Senior LIFE transport vans are ADA-compliant and specially designed with hydraulic lifts and wheelchair ramps to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring safe, comfortable, and accessible transportation for individuals with mobility challenges.
The no-cost transportation services offered by Senior LIFE benefit the caregivers as well as the participant. Often, caregivers sacrifice their personal or paid (sometimes unpaid) leave time to drive senior loved ones to medically necessary appointments during daylight hours. Senior LIFE takes that worry away and gives the busy caregiver back the precious gift of time.
