Transportation

Transportation is a critical support for older adults to access community services and visit family and friends. Discover what transportation benefits may be offered to seniors and caregivers in your community.

Compassionate Caregivers is committed to providing caregiving services of all kinds, including transportation services when necessary. In-home caregivers can assist with getting you or someone you care for out of the house to enjoy the things that fulfill them or improve their quality of life. Running routine errands can become increasingly difficult due to aging, a disability, or a temporary mobility restriction, but that does not mean that a trip to the supermarket or the park should remain out of reach.

Transportation services may include:

  • Trips to the drugstore for prescription pick-up, with or without the client
  • Assistance with everyday errands such as grocery shopping, with or without the client
  • Transport and assistance to and from doctor and therapy appointments
  • Travel to visit family and friends, attend religious functions, and more

When an individual has the ability to get out of the house and shop, buy a gift for someone they love, pick out vegetables for dinner, or even volunteer, he/she is able to preserve independence and strengthen overall well-being. We empower people to stay involved in daily activities in and around the home and away from the home, regardless of their ability to drive.
