Other Transportation Options
If you are no longer driving, options are available. These include assistance with public transportation, rides to our centers and rural and social transportation.
When It's Time to Move
If it is no longer safe for you to remain at home, but you aren't sure where to turn, Aging Partners can help you analyze your options. These include independent senior living communities, licensed assisted living facilities, subsidized housing, nursing home facilities and memory care facilities. Our counselors work with you and your family to match your needs and budget with appropriate housing and care.
Moving to a new home can be a challenge at any age. When moving to a smaller home you will need to prioritize which of your belongings you need most. Aging Partners can offer options for your successful transition to a new home.
