Transportation Options

Many social needs are met through driving. People who live alone and no longer drive may feel isolated. Arrange for frequent visits, and plan outings with friends and family that will help the person remain socially active. Family members, neighbors and caregivers can provide transportation to appointments and errands. Explore options to have groceries or prescriptions delivered. The local senior center may offer a shuttle service. For resources in your community, call the Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) at 1 (800) 282-8096.
