CARING FOR THE AGED OR SOMEONE WITH A DISABILITY
No doubt about it, it is a huge understatement to say that it is “challenging” for caregivers to attend to everyday needs. There are mountains of information on the subject…but every caregiver knows there is certainly no time to read any of it.
The Adaptive Driving Alliance and their network of suppliers and partners are addressing the mobility needs of the aged and people with disabilities. Be assured…independence and dignity are top priorities!
TRANSPORTATION - THE PROBLEM
There are doctor appointments to go to! How do I get them in the vehicle?
The wheelchair is way too heavy! Can they use a scooter?
I’m older, and not able to lift them into the car anymore!
How do we take them on vacation? Can we rent a converted van?
