Senior Transportation Services in The Villages, FL

Assisting Hands Home Care provides senior transportation services in The Villages, Lady Lake, Oxford, Wildwood, Leesburg, Belleview, Ocala, FL, and the surrounding areas to provide transportation for seniors who no longer drive.  Our caregivers provide non-emergency transportation to help seniors get to important engagements like doctor appointments and take care of errands like grocery shopping.

Driving is a privilege, and for many seniors, it is a privilege that they may need to give up for their own safety.  Seniors typically stop driving if they have chronic conditions or physical and cognitive limitations that make driving unsafe.  When seniors stop driving, they lose some independence as they now must rely on friends and family to get to where they need to go.  If your senior loved ones no longer drive but want this independence back, they could benefit from our transportation services.

When Should Seniors Stop Driving?

Many people take the ability to drive for granted, as it gives people the freedom to go from place to place.  It is common for seniors to be resistant to the idea of giving up driving, as it also means giving up some of their freedom.  However, it may be best for your senior loved ones to give up driving if they have impaired vision, declining cognitive abilities, limited mobility, or chronic conditions that are causing slow reactions.

Giving up driving is difficult for seniors, as they may not want to acknowledge their inabilities.  If your loved one is hesitant to stop driving, talk to them about the danger they are putting themselves in every time they drive.  You can also help them agree to give up driving by offering an alternative, like senior transportation services.

Does Medicare pay for in-home care services?

Medicare doesn’t pay for non-medical home care. It only can cover the cost of the medical version of home care, called “Home Healthcare” in some situations.

Home Healthcare services covered by Medicare include skilled nursing care, physical therapy services, etc. However, Medicare does not cover in-home personal care services that involve companionship, and activities of daily living (ADLs) like meal preparation, grooming, light housekeeping, etc.

The caregivers and staff at Assisting Hands in the Villages were wonderful. We settled into a regular rotation of caregivers, and they were all beyond kind to my mother. The staff were also very available and accommodating. Our entire family was very happy with the quality care that my mother received, and I feel very lucky that we had such a smooth transition to in home care. Thank you AH!

I can't say enough about this home care business. They were literally on-call for days because my mom was in the hospital during the time when they were scheduled to be with her. We didn't know when she would be discharged, so they were on-call at a moment's notice. My mom loved every health aide. I will keep in touch with the owner, because she's now a friend. THANK YOU! ❤️
