Supporting Your Loved One at Home
Your dad’s driver’s license expired last year. He hasn’t driven since. Now he’s missing doctor appointments because he can’t get there. He’s stuck at home, lonely, and you can’t always take time off work to drive him.

That’s where we come in. We drive your loved one to appointments, run errands, and accompany them on outings so they stay independent and connected. With home care, Allentown families trust for transport support. Senior Transportation Service Allentown takes care of everything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have wheelchair-accessible vehicles
Yes. For clients who use a wheelchair, scooter, or other mobility equipment, we arrange a wheelchair-accessible vehicle with a ramp or lift, so there’s no need to transfer in and out of a regular car seat if that’s uncomfortable or risky. The wheelchair itself is properly secured with restraints designed for vehicle transport, not just locked brakes, and your loved one is seated with the same seatbelt protection as any other passenger.
If your loved one uses a walker, cane, or other equipment but can transfer into a standard seat, we’re also happy to bring that along and store it safely for the ride. Just let us know what equipment is involved when booking, so the right vehicle and setup are ready before pickup.
Will the caregiver come into the appointment with my loved one, and will I find out what was discussed?
That’s entirely up to what your loved one needs and wants. For some appointments, simply having a ride and someone in the waiting room is enough. For others, especially anything involving new diagnoses, medication changes, or a lot of information to absorb, having the caregiver sit in with them to take notes and help remember the doctor’s instructions can make a real difference, particularly for clients who get overwhelmed or forgetful in medical settings.
As for keeping you in the loop, your loved one would need to give their consent for that information to be shared, which is simply how medical privacy works, but once that’s in place, we’re glad to pass along a clear summary of what was discussed so nothing important gets lost.
What experience or training do your drivers have, and what safety standards do the vehicles meet?
Every driver goes through background screening and a check of their driving record before they ever transport a client, and we look specifically for a clean, safe history, not just a valid license. Beyond that, our caregivers are trained in safely assisting passengers with limited mobility in and out of vehicles, securing wheelchairs and mobility equipment correctly, and staying alert to things like fatigue, confusion, or discomfort during the ride.
Vehicles are properly insured and well-maintained, and we don’t cut corners on basics like working seatbelts and clean, accessible interiors. If your loved one has specific needs, hearing difficulties, anxiety around car rides, or a preference for a particular seat, just let us know in advance so the driver can plan accordingly.
Can you arrange transportation on short notice if an appointment comes up unexpectedly?
Generally yes, though it depends on driver and vehicle availability at the time you call, particularly for wheelchair-accessible trips where there are fewer vehicles to draw from. We treat last-minute medical transportation requests as a priority and will always tell you honestly whether we can make a specific time work, rather than overpromising and leaving you stuck.
To give yourself the best odds with short-notice requests, calling as soon as you know about the appointment makes a real difference; even an hour’s extra notice often opens up more options. For anything you already know about in advance, booking ahead is still the most reliable way to guarantee the exact vehicle and timing your loved one needs.
