When Your Loved One Needs Transportation

The ability to travel around town, going where we want or need to go whenever we need or choose to is a freedom that most of us enjoy. But many seniors don’t always have that freedom.

The Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) estimates that there are 26 million elderly Americans who depend on others for their mobility. And if your loved one is one of them, you may not always have the time to take them to an appointment, to the grocery store, or to the pharmacy.

So you need to be aware of your transportation options for your loved one. There’s always taxis or buses, but they not be dependable or your loved one’s circumstances doesn’t make either an option.

And, really, when you think about, you probably want them to have more than just a ride.
