When It’s Time to Get Transportation
for a Loved One
How to Know When It’s No Longer Safe (or Practical) for Them to Drive or Rely on Family
Deciding when to step in and help a loved one with transportation can be emotional. Maybe you’ve noticed they’re avoiding appointments. Maybe their driving has become unsafe or maybe you’re stretched thin trying to help with every ride.
Whatever the reason, arranging transportation isn’t about taking away freedom — it’s about preserving independence and safety with a little support.
Signs It May Be Time for Transportation Help:
- Missed appointments or errands due to lack of transportation.
- Declining driving skills — confusion, near-misses, or getting lost.
- Medical limitations that make it difficult or unsafe to drive.
- Increased caregiver burden — family members struggling to meet all the transportation needs.
- Social withdrawal due to lack of mobility.
Why It Matters:
Loss of transportation often leads to isolation, missed medical care, and even physical decline. But with the right solution, your loved one can continue to live a connected, engaged, and healthier life — without the risks of unsafe driving or constant caregiver strain.
