Seniors will often have to give up the ability to drive due to mobility-related disability, eyesight problems, or cognitive decline. When this happens they may also have to give up some of the favorite activities, visiting family or struggling to make it to doctor’s appointments. To help bridge this gap and make mobility possible again, transportation services for seniors, like Deano’s Senior Transit, provide a much-needed service.
By obtaining accommodating ride services, seniors can live the life they were previously accustomed to instead of remaining isolated from friends and family. Many benefits can be obtained by partnering with transportation services for seniors. Here are a few of the important ones:
A private transportation company prides itself on getting its patients to their scheduled appointments on time. Taking a taxi cab or public transportation limits one’s ability to make it to scheduled appointments in a timely manner.
Alternatives to senior transportation services can be unreliable or make seniors feel uneasy. Your mom might not feel comfortable with taxi drivers, or your dad might find that the services provided by your local church just aren’t available when he needs them. Reliable and qualified senior transportation services will be there for your loved one when they need it and are run by people who know how to make seniors feel safe and secure.
Isolation leads to depression—both of which are prevalent issues in senior communities. For one, a large percentage of seniors live alone. A trusted transportation company can take seniors wherever they need to go, not just to doctor appointments, but group gatherings, functions, and other events. Therefore, reducing the risk of isolation by getting them out of the house and interacting with other people. Seniors need to get out at least several times each week to maintain feelings of wellbeing and community involvement.
Unlike taxis or public transportation, seniors often need special accommodations to get from point A to point B. As a reliable and dependable transportation service, Deano’s Senior Transit has invested in MV-1 vehicles to provide superior wheelchair accommodation and dependable pick up times. We are here for your loved one, no matter when they need assistance.
