Here is how transportation helps your family.
Giving up the car keys is a big loss for many older adults. Without a ride, it becomes hard to see the doctor, pick up prescriptions, go to church or visit friends, and life at home gets smaller. With a caregiver along for the ride, an elderly parent can keep getting to appointments, errands and church.
Our caregivers do more than drive. They help your loved one in and out of the car, walk with them into the appointment and help them get settled back at home afterward.
Transportation can include any of these tasks.
You choose only the tasks your loved one needs. We put them in a written care plan during your free home assessment.
- Rides to doctor appointments
- Rides to the pharmacy
- Grocery and shopping trips
- Rides to church
- Visits with friends and family
- Trips to the park
- Help getting in and out of the car
- Walking with your loved one into appointments
- Picking up prescriptions
- Running errands together
Rolocare provides non-medical care only. Our caregivers do not perform nursing tasks such as injections or wound care.
This is who transportation is a good fit for.
Transportation is a good fit when your loved one has stopped driving, should not be driving anymore, or needs someone with them at appointments.
We provide transportation across Southern California.
Families often ask us these questions about transportation.
Can the caregiver stay with my loved one at the appointment?
Yes. The caregiver can stay with your loved one during the visit and help them get home safely afterward.
Do you provide medical transportation?
No. Rolocare provides non-medical rides. If your loved one needs a medical transport vehicle or an ambulance, you will need a medical transportation company.
Our caregivers also help with these services.
Every family is different, so every care plan is different too.
Let's talk about caring for your loved one.
Your first home assessment is free, and there is no obligation.
