You may need to rely on a reliable vehicle service for numerous reasons. One of them is that your loved one will need care they can't provide themselves. Whether taking medication, visiting the doctor, or getting groceries at the grocery store, somebody has to provide transportation. At Visiting Angels Carlisle, we believe in providing in-home care by making our families feel more confident when they are away from home.

How Incidental Transportation Can Help Seniors

Seniors with difficulty moving around without assistance can suffer from social isolation. If a senior needs to attend an appointment, such as a scheduled doctor's visit, but they don't drive and live alone, they may need to rely on someone else for a ride. Adult children and other family members might be willing to offer transportation. Yet, if your family members live in another state or you do not regularly have someone visiting to help with personal care and errands, you might need an alternative solution.

Not allowing them access to transportation may make them feel isolated. In some cases, seniors may also be reluctant to go out independently because they fear getting lost or other unfortunate events. It's important to understand that social isolation can lead to health issues such as loneliness, poor diet, and increased risks for chronic illness.

As part of our senior care services, our in-home care providers will help your parent get dressed and prepare them for the trip.
