Senior Transportation offered at Envoy America
Provides transportation services that are always coupled with assistance and companionship to ambulatory riders that cannot, should nor or do not want to drive themselves. Provides a service referred to as "Driver Companions." Driver Companions play the same role as a son, daughter or family member who is helping their elderly or ill family member with their transportation needs. Examples include: - walking to the rider's door to pick them up (versus meeting them at the curb), - helping them to the care and stowing their walker/wheelchair if they have one, and - walking them inside the facility, store, or client's home as needed - providing rides to clients that are coming from appointments that require sedation. Envoy ensures that the client is safe inside the home and comfortable before leaving, including after medical procedures if necessary. Provides more than just a ride from Point A to Point B Rides can be for things like employment, medical appointments, surgeries, church, shopping, etc.
