Provides rides for any purpose, as long as you meet one of the following criteria: you are 60+ years old.
The Home & Escort Linkage Program (H.E.L.P.) is a unique transportation service designed to assist older adults with getting to their various appointments and errands. This program utilizes car transportation and operates on a donation basis, making it a convenient and affordable option for older adults in need of a ride. The pricing structure for this program involves a flat fee of $20 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum charge for services provided by the home care workers. It's important to note that clients pay the workers directly for their services.
One of the standout features of the H.E.L.P. program is its door-to-door service, ensuring that older adults are safely transported from their homes to their destinations and back. Additionally, the program offers flexibility by providing a driver who is willing to wait for the passenger while they run errands or attend appointments, making the overall experience more convenient and stress-free.
It's worth mentioning that scheduling rides through the H.E.L.P. program requires advanced planning, as riders are encouraged to book their transportation at least one week in advance. This ensures that the program's team can coordinate the logistics effectively and accommodate as many older adults as possible. Whether it's a crucial eye care appointment or a routine errand, the H.E.L.P. program is dedicated to supporting older adults in maintaining their independence and access to essential services through reliable and affordable transportation assistance.
