What's the purpose

Our "Keep Going: Uber Me!" initiative is an integral part of our Independence Program designed to empower seniors to maintain their mobility and freedom, even after they have given up their keys. This program ensures that being without a personal vehicle doesn't mean being stranded or isolated. By providing access to safe, reliable transportation through services like Uber, we help seniors attend important appointments, social engagements, and everyday errands, reinforcing their independence and preventing neglect.

Transportation on Demand

Every ride is more than just a trip; it's an opportunity for seniors to engage with their community, attend vital health appointments, and maintain their social connections.

Understanding that mobility is crucial for active aging, "Keep Going: Uber Me!" offers seniors the freedom to travel wherever and whenever they need. This service is particularly beneficial for those who might feel isolated due to their inability to drive.

How it works

  • Sign Up: Register easily either online or by calling our dedicated support line.
  • Schedule Rides: Simply call our team, and we'll handle all the details of scheduling your rides. We ensure you get to your destination and back home safely and conveniently.
  • Ride Confirmation: Get instant notifications about your ride details via text, email, or a phone call.
  • Stay Mobile: Experience the freedom of attending appointments, visiting friends, or just enjoying a day out without any transportation worries.

For those interested in our "Keep Going: Uber Me!" transportation services, here’s what you'll need to participate:

  • Device: A mobile phone capable of receiving SMS for ride confirmations and updates.
  • Support: Our team is available to assist with scheduling and technology use, ensuring ease of access to our services.

Why it's important

Mobility is a critical aspect of living a full and engaged life. "Keep Going: Uber Me!" addresses the vital need for accessible transportation, which can otherwise be a significant barrier for seniors living independently. This service not only aids in fulfilling practical needs but also plays a crucial role in enhancing mental health by reducing feelings of isolation and dependence.

We understand the importance of independence in later years. Our program is here to ensure that mobility challenges do not prevent seniors from living their lives to the fullest.

Who really benefits

This program is ideal for seniors who no longer drive but still wish to remain active and connected to their community.

Seniors who have retired from driving often miss out on spontaneous outings and regular social activities, which can lead to feelings of isolation and dependency. "Keep Going: Uber Me!" is crafted to empower these individuals by restoring their ability to move freely in their communities without relying on friends or family schedules.

Join us as we continue to support the mobility and independence of our senior community, ensuring every individual has the freedom to manage their life with dignity and ease.
