Transportation
is an essential component for any senior or disabled adult living
independently in the community. Flexible transportation for medical
appointments, banking/shopping and social activities is an essential
part of any care plan and is necessary to reduce isolation and promote
on-going interaction with health care professionals.
Community transportation is available for seniors and disabled
adults who are not eligible for Wheel Trans and are not able to
take public transportation. Our friendly, reliable, door-to-door
service is provided by both staff and volunteers and is adjusted
to individual client needs with priority being given to the most
urgent medical appointments.
Rides are provided to medical appointments, shopping, social programs
and visiting relatives and is available Monday to Friday from 8:30
am to 4:30 pm. Requests for rides need to be placed in advance. The fee for the transportation service is based on
the distance traveled and clients may bring one escort at no additional
cost.
If you or your loved one does not reside in our catchment area but would still like assistance from a Community Service agency in Toronto, please
