We’re also aware that conditions change, and ongoing assessment enables us to alter care plans based on the growing needs of an individual.
Transportation and Non-Medical Services
Studies have shown that one of the most common causes for senior citizen isolation, depression, and malnourishment is a lack of transportation. At OptimumCare Home Care Services , we’re happy to provide transportation for our clients to their medical appointments, for errands, for outings, and for enjoying time with family and friends. Our drivers are checked for clean license records and insurance, and that their vehicles are safe and well maintained. Or, our drivers can drive your own car.
