Transportation Opportunities¶
Help getting to medical appointments, senior centers, shopping: fixed route and paratransit buses, or hire a Senior Helpers driver.
Older adults and caregivers can get help finding and planning transportation and can access group or individual travel training through Getthere.
Questions to ask the program¶
These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.
- Does the person receiving care live in New York? Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
