How do you safely get to your doctor’s appointments?
If you no longer want to drive yourself to appointments or treatments, here’s how to make getting there easier. Learn about transportation options for seniors and how GoGoGrandparent makes rides to medical appointments convenient, affordable, and safe.
What Are the Options for Rides for Seniors to the Doctor?
There are several ways to get to your doctor’s appointment:
1. Drive yourself.
If you’re still comfortable behind the wheel, this can be an option—but if driving feels stressful or unsafe, there are plenty of alternatives.
2. Ask a loved one.
Family or friends may be able to help, but their schedules aren’t always flexible. It’s good to have a backup plan for those times when they can’t make it.
3. Take a taxi.
Taxis can be convenient, but they often charge higher rates and may not always accommodate accessibility needs.
4. Use hospital or clinic transport.
Some medical centers provide transportation for elderly patients to and from appointments. This can be an affordable and accessible option—but it’s not available everywhere.
5. Try public transportation.
Buses and trains are ADA-compliant, but they may not always be the most comfortable or safest choice—especially if you’re attending regular treatments like dialysis or chemotherapy.
6. Use a rideshare app.
Rideshares like Uber and Lyft can provide on-demand rides, but they typically require a smartphone and don’t always account for accessibility needs or driver reliability.
What’s the Best Option for Rides for Seniors to Medical Appointments?
Each of these options has pros and cons—but GoGoGrandparent’s transportation service for seniors was built to solve them all.
With GoGo, you have the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want—without needing an app or smartphone. It’s like driving yourself, but with your safety, comfort, and accessibility needs prioritized.
