At Kind Senior Care, our reliable transportation services are about much more than just driving clients from point A to point B. Our compassionate caregivers are trained to provide through-the-door service, which means we can help you get ready for your appointment, walk with you from your home to the car, drive you to your destination, and even wait and take notes at your appointment.
Kind’s senior transportation services support activities like:
Turning over the car keys for good can deal a serious blow to a senior’s dignity, freedom and self-esteem. Once that senior stops driving, they run the risk for becoming socially isolated. The resulting social isolation can cause or worsen numerous mental and physical health problems, including cognitive impairment, depression, and heart disease.
At Kind Senior Care, our transportation services empower those we serve by providing them and their families with benefits like:
For your added security, all our prospective caregivers undergo a thorough criminal background and driving record check before setting foot in the home or getting behind the wheel.
Even if you live close by, it’s not always possible to be available at a moment’s notice to give your loved one a ride. At Kind Senior Care all of our home care agency professionals are trained to provide a full menu of daily living assistance services, including driving.
Once you place your trust in us, the best part is that those driving services are included as a normal part of your everyday care plan! Anytime your Kind caregiver is on shift they can simply run some errands for you. In fact, many of our clients and their families schedule doctor’s appointments and other important activities during hours when our professionals are visiting the home.
That not only makes it easier for our clients to follow a routine, it also allows their family members to rest easy knowing that a Kind caregiver will make sure their loved one is getting where they need to be. For clients that can no longer drive themselves, our caregivers provide a vital service that helps them visit friends, get to appointments and run errands.
While not all Kind Senior Care clients require transportation as a part of their care plan, all our caregivers do have their own vehicle. That means that each one has the capability to run errands on behalf of their clients when needed.
During the COVID-19 crisis this built-in care plan service is now being utilized more than ever before. Many of our clients have taken advantage of the opportunity to remain safely at home while our caregivers do their grocery shopping, pick up refills at the pharmacy, and run other essential errands for them.
We understand it can be difficult to fulfill your elderly parent’s needs by yourself personally. Our trained home care agency professionals can create personalized care plans, including transportation services. These professionals go through criminal background and driving checks before entering anyone’s home or driving a client. Many clients plan their activities requiring transportation, such as medical appointments or errands, while their Kind Senior Care caregiver visits the home for ease and peace of mind for family members knowing their senior is fully tended to.
At Kind Senior Care, our transportation services are more than just simple transportation to where a senior needs to go. We offer through-the-door service so that the individual is ready for where they are going and get there safely. Kind Senior Cares transportation services include taking your senior to:
At Kind Senior Care, we emphasize empowerment through our services. We don’t wish to take over tasks for a client but rather support them in a way that allows them to feel a sense of independence and accomplishment. Some of the benefits our clients have found from our transportation services include a renewed sense of freedom and independence, safety, and improved physical and mental health. Staying mobile by attending appointments, running errands, and seeing friends and family allows the physical body to remain active and simultaneously improve mental health.
It may be hard to believe in today’s world, but it is extremely feasible for a senior to get around without a car and without having to resort to walking places. Many individuals worry about their senior walking alone or even with someone else. Kind Senior Care offers transportation services to ensure seniors get to where they need to be safely. Just because a senior cannot get behind the wheel does not mean they should stop living their daily life as before they stopped driving.
