We understand how hard it is for seniors to give up their car keys and rely on others for transportation. Family and friends may be willing to drive them around town, but the problem is that they may be able to do it only after work and on weekends. Being stuck at home all day can lead to isolation and loneliness, ultimately resulting in anxiety and depression.

Visiting Angels' Quality Home Care Services Include Helping Seniors in Frankenmuth, Bay City, Saginaw, and Surrounding Areas in Michigan Get Where They Need to Go with Incidental Transportation

If you cannot drive your loved one due to your job and other personal obligations, it is good to know that you have quality home care services at your disposal. With incidental transportation services from Visiting Angels Frankenmuth, your loved one can get wherever they need to be. You do not have to worry about their safety and well-being.

What to Know About Our Incidental Transportation Services

If family members are unable to drive your loved one and they regularly require transportation services, Visiting Angels Frankenmuth is here to help with our quality home care services. We will take your loved one anywhere they wish to go in the area, including medical appointments, social visits and community events, family dinners, grocery stores and markets, church, and much more.

Keep in mind:

• Your loved one must have a vehicle of their own that the caregiver can drive if they need transportation; our caregivers cannot use their own vehicles to transport your loved one.
• There is no additional fee if your loved one needs to run errands or get to and from an appointment.
• If your loved one needs a caregiver to make a trip on their own, we do not charge an additional fee if the caregiver uses your loved one’s vehicle, but we charge $1/mile if the caregiver uses their own vehicle.

Driving your loved one is not the only thing that is included in our incidental transportation services. Our dedicated caregivers will not only drive your mom or dad to and from any designated location, but they can also help them get dressed and prepared for the trip. What is more, when they come back home, our caregiver can accompany your parent inside, making sure they stay safe and comfortable until their full-time caregiver or family member arrives.

Part of Our Comprehensive Senior Care Services

Incidental transportation is not a stand-alone service at Visiting Angels Frankenmuth, but it can be included in your loved one’s care plan. Besides scheduled transportation, we can provide your loved one with an array of quality home care services designed to boost independence and quality of life at home. Our trained caregivers can help with a plethora of daily activities such as homemaking, cleaning, cooking, shopping and errands, mobility assistance, providing useful reminders and meaningful companionship, assistance with bathing, and more.

While calling a taxi service can also do the trick when it comes to attending family events or going shopping, our incidental transportation services are way safer and much more personal.
