Senior Transportation Explained
What Is Senior Medical Transportation?
A planned medical ride gives older adults a more dependable alternative when driving, public transit or ordinary rideshare services are unsuitable.
Senior medical transportation is a scheduled, non-emergency ride service for older adults traveling to healthcare-related destinations. It may help a senior who no longer drives, has limited mobility or needs more planning than an ordinary point-to-point ride provides.
Hyattsville includes private homes, apartment buildings, senior communities and busy healthcare routes throughout Prince George’s County. Palmer Medical Transport reviews the passenger’s pickup instructions, appointment time, mobility equipment and destination before confirming transportation.
This service does not replace emergency medical care or ambulance transportation. Call 911 immediately during a serious or life-threatening medical emergency.
