Right at Home
Transportation Services

According to the National Council on Aging, senior transportation is a critical support component for older adults, allowing them to maintain their independence and quality of life. Access to safe and reliable transportation enables seniors to connect to community services, visit with family and friends, and avoid social isolation. From medical appointments to salon sessions to time spent with grandchildren, staying engaged in life is what’s important. Right at Home can be there every step of the way, providing assistance with:

Transportation when a family caregiver is unavailable.
Continued involvement with the clubs and hobbies seniors love.
Appointments for medical care that may be required.
Independence and continued confidence in everyday activities.
Rides and safety supervision to avoid hazards and potential fall risks.

"I received a cancer diagnosis and was being released to my home on short notice. One phone call & I was set up with help for two days a week as well as transportation to my Oncologist in DC for an appointment - all who arrived on time and ready to work! The Right at Home employees who came to my house were wonderful. Both days they were helpful, pleasant, and great company all while they were getting my tasks completed. My driver to the medical appointment was a safe, very competent driver who also accompanied me into the medical facility to make sure I got around safely. Finally, the Howard County Right at Home office is very responsive to my questions and needs. This is a solid competent organization." - RickyN
