Transportation Services for Elderly and People with Disabilities
Our caregivers can give your senior loved ones rides to doctor appointments, religious services, family gatherings and other events so that they do not miss out on their favorite activities.
We can also take care of essential errands such as grocery shopping. With these services, your loved ones will still be able to maintain the freedom they had when they could drive themselves.
It is common for senior citizens to give up certain activities as they get older because they can no longer handle the activity effectively or safely.
Driving is one such activity that senior citizens eventually give up because it can be dangerous to drive if seniors have impaired vision or limited mobility which can result in slow reaction time.
Sometimes senior citizens understand that they need to give up driving, but there are also instances in which the family has to convince their senior relatives to give up driving.
It is important to talk to your relatives about giving up driving if they are starting to get tickets regularly, get lost when driving, run out of gas, or lose their keys.
When having this conversation with your loved one, make sure they understand that it is dangerous for them to continue driving.
When senior citizens stop driving, they are giving up a part of their independence.
It helps to have an alternative in mind when discussing giving up driving with your loved ones so that they do not feel like they are completely losing this freedom.
