Many people consider summer to be the best season of the year. Students get a break from school, families go on vacation, and fun activities like swimming become a part of daily life. While summer presents some unique challenges for seniors, there are still plenty of ways for them to enjoy this time as well. Whether they’re going to a museum, taking an aquatic aerobics class, or wanting to spend more time with their grandchildren, sometimes the only issue seniors have is finding a reliable way to get around town.
Envoy America offers trusted and reliable transportation to take your senior relatives wherever they need to go. Let’s take a look at five reasons to use Envoy America this summer.
Be More Independent
Envoy America’s senior transportation services are giving seniors back their independence one ride at a time. While a subset of these rides is used for transportation to medical appointments, a recent study we completed found that a majority of seniors are using our service for activities and entertainment purposes. Removing the stress of driving and parking, Envoy America restores seniors’ independent lifestyles, letting them come and go as they please. Seniors who use Envoy America report significantly higher levels of happiness and sociability and feel more in control.
Receive Assistance from Driver Companions
Though Envoy America helps seniors enjoy a new level of freedom, there will still be times when they need a helping hand. Our trained, compassionate driver companions help with errands like grocery shopping, carrying heavy items, and fulfilling any other needs that may arise during the ride. They also provide companionship, wait while clients’ tasks are completed, and get them home safely. Impeccable service is crucial for each and every ride.
Avoid the Heat
With summer in full swing, it’s important for seniors to shield themselves from the elements. Along with age comes more of a risk of heat stroke and other ailments. Envoy America’s door-to-door service means that seniors aren’t sweltering at a bus stop or the curb waiting for their ride to arrive. Our driver companions meet seniors at their door and accompany them to their air-conditioned vehicle. As soon as clients are done with their appointment or errand, there’s no waiting in the heat for transportation to arrive. Our driver companions are by their side the whole time, ready to take them home immediately.
Enjoy a User-Friendly Transportation Experience
Though technology has improved many aspects of life, not everyone feels comfortable embracing technology. Many ridesharing services require that rides be requested using an app or website. While these are indeed ways to book a ride with Envoy America, we also offer the convenient, comfortable option of calling to speak with a representative over the phone to plan and schedule each ride.
For those who prefer not to call or have already used our service, our website also has a user-friendly ride request form which can be filled out for future rides.
Benefit from Convenience
Summer can be a busy time for medical appointments, but it also provides ample opportunity for traveling, shopping, and other fun. Envoy America’s senior transportation services are a convenient way to have a ride ready whenever needed. Need a ride for tomorrow or for next month? Just give us a quick phone call and we’ll have a driver companion at your door the minute you need to leave.
