Senior Transportation
Reliable Transportation For your loved one.
Our team can take the wheel when transportation becomes an issue for your loved one.
If you were to ask your senior loved one if there is one thing they fear more than anything as they grow older, losing their ability to drive themselves would be at the top of the list. They fear becoming homebound and losing contact with friends and family, not being able to go shopping, make it to the doctor's office, and the myriad of things most of us take for granted. Sometimes, they have family or friends who can help, but this is hit-and-miss at best. Here at Harmony Haven , our senior home care services include a full range of transportation options provided by a home care aide.
Transportation is Not Optional
Until the development of the supermarket and superstores, most of us had neighborhood stores where we could buy just about anything we needed. Most were close enough for most to walk to, even for a senior and offered delivery services for those who couldn't. Today, the corner store is no longer an option, creating a severe issue for those who can no longer drive. To help with this situation, a home care aide can provide your loved ones with the necessary transportation services.
At Harmony Havens, we understand how important it is to your loved one to get out of the house and take care of things like doctor's appointments, shopping, the senior center, and any other places they need to go. We also know that the more your loved one can get out in the fresh air, the better it is for their mental and physical health. Our services have been developed to include transportation options that make getting out and about as frequently possible.
