Do you or your senior parent hate driving at night? Are you a little fearful driving as you or they are getting older?

Envoy’s senior ride service and companion drivers are trained and ready to take care of your senior parent, anywhere they want to go!
Assisted Transportation Increases Safety
Older drivers are generally more at risk for having driving accidents because of poor night vision and declined motor function. The American Automobile Association says that most drivers will make 20 decisions every mile they drive and has less than a half of a second to react fast enough to avoid an accident. Seniors typically have a hard time sensing, deciding and acting fast enough.
Cost effective senior transportation is a great way to ensure that your senior parent stays as safe as possible. They don’t have to worry about navigating traffic-heavy roads or being anxious about driving at night. Envoy’s companion drivers will assist your senior parent through the entirety of their trip and return them home safely when they are ready to do so.
From the ease of booking, the professionalism of their drivers, timeliness, and willingness to go above and beyond; this company is a true asset to seniors across the valley.
Staying Out of the Arizona Heat
Standing in the elements can be a safety hazard for seniors who experience fatigue easily. Age changes the body’s ability to regulate temperature changes efficiently, which causes elderly individuals to be more affected by summer heat. Seniors are more likely to suffer from heat stroke and dehydration when they are exposed to direct sun and high heat for too long. Many transportation services don’t offer call ahead options, and in some cases, seniors are left standing outside for long periods of time waiting.
Envoy’s reputable Tucson and Phoenix senior transportation services allows passengers to make reservations day and weeks ahead of when they need to be picked up. Companion drivers greet passengers on time at their door-step to bring them to their vehicle.
Extra Companionship and Assistance for Seniors in Phoenix and Tucson
Seniors often don’t have the assistance they need when they have to drive themselves to appointments and run errands. Grocery stores are much less intimidating when seniors have help carrying heavy items. Envoy’s senior driving service offers care beyond other senior transportation companies and here’s why. Companion drivers will push shopping carts, reach to grab low items or items that are out of reach on shelves, read small print on labels and carry bags to the car and back to passenger’s houses. Drivers are there for passengers from the beginning of their trip and at every point after until they are safely home again.
Envoy America is passionate about helping seniors regain independence which is why we offer a helping hand and extra companionship to give seniors peace of mind.
