What Is Senior Medical Transportation?
Senior medical transportation is scheduled non-emergency transportation for older adults who need a dependable way to reach healthcare appointments and treatment. It may include rides for seniors to medical appointments, hospital visits, dialysis, rehabilitation, therapy and other healthcare destinations.
Senior transportation is not one-size-fits-all. Some older adults remain ambulatory and can walk independently or with limited assistance. Others use a wheelchair or need stretcher-based transportation. The ride should be matched to the passenger’s actual mobility needs.
