As a result, finding reliable transportation to doctor’s appointments, trips to the grocery store, or religious ceremonies can hold seniors back from what they want to do. At Buckner Parkway Place in Houston, TX, Transportation in Senior Living is only one of the many programs and services that we provide for our residents. Our transportation for seniors gives our residents the freedom to travel where they want without worrying about driving. If you’re interested in learning more about how our Buckner Parkway Place team handles Transportation in Senior Living, contact us today by calling 281.305.1846 or filling out our online contact form.

Why Is Transportation
in Senior Living Needed?

The unfortunate truth is that our reflexes and eyesight slowly decline as we age. That means that getting behind the wheel can become more difficult for some seniors. Also, people with memory problems such as Alzheimer’s disease or dementia can present a danger to themselves or other motorists. When seniors aren’t able to drive anymore, they feel less independent, which can have a detrimental effect on their mental health.

What Are Some Benefits of Transportation for Seniors?

Our Buckner Parkway Place team provides transportation services for all of our residents so that they can still keep an active lifestyle. There are many benefits of Transportation in Senior Living for our residents, such as:
