Transporation Assistance
Transportation Assistance Services You Need
Often, we don’t see the value and convenience that transportation brings. Sometimes, injury, recent surgery, illness, or aging, can leave us looking for a little extra help to move around. When your loved ones are unable to take care of themselves like before or when they require assistance getting around, our transportation assistance services can prove to be an essential part of living. CareFirst offers transportation care as part of our home care services to assist those who have a difficult time getting from one place to another.
When the people we care about lose the ability to drive on their own, it can be extremely difficult and alienating. We understand that family and friends can’t always be there to assist their loved ones and take them where they need to go. Access to transportation allows cared for persons and patients to stay independent and happy in the home as they get support from our caring team.
Our caregivers are available to take them wherever they wish to go, including parks, community centers activities, appointments, social engagements, recreational engagements, and much more. We help our clients get into and out of the vehicle and allow them to have control over their travel as much as possible. Besides helping with transportation, our caregivers provide companionship, conversation, and support. Your loved one will be hanging out with a familiar and friendly face!
