Servicing north central Iowa, Life & Health Care offers private transportation for seniors who for a variety of reasons are no longer able or willing to drive and do not have access to or do not feel comfortable with public transportation. Studies indicate that nearly half of all seniors age 65 and above stay at home during the day because they do not have access to viable transportation options. Although most individuals in the work force might view this as a day of rest, for seniors it can have negative physical, psychological, and emotional effects, such as depression, feelings of isolation and a loss of confidence that comes from independence. Private transportation for seniors offers aging individuals the opportunity to stay active, involved, and connected to their friends and their communities, which in turn creates a healthier, happier lifestyle. Although the idea that seniors need to stay active is self-evident, the reality is that most family caregivers have employment and family commitments that preclude them being able to provide daily transportation to aging loved ones. Because Life & Health Care is interested in the whole family, private transportation for seniors is an important part of what we do. We understand that in a world of limited time and resources, even the most well-meaning and dedicated family members may not have the time or the transportation resources needed to meet the changing needs of their senior family members. Life and Health Care of north central Iowa can aid in providing transportation during those times when you are simply unavailable. To maximize the health and happiness of your aging loved one, it is vital that they move and interact outside of the home and at Life & Health Care of north central Iowa, we make that possible by providing safe and affordable private transportation for seniors.
