If you need to transport people with mobility issues then regular cars or buses may not be up to the job. Even with " target="_self" mobility conversions and appropriate modifications, some traditional vehicles just don’t have the room to accommodate people comfortably and safely. Community " target="_self" mobility transport can change the lives of people in the local area by giving them the freedom to travel.


Whether you work for a local authority, a care home, a charity or the NHS, the people you support could benefit substantially from community transport.


Day trips


Having a trip out into the country side, to the seaside or even to the local shopping area can give the elderly or people with mobility issues a real boost. Being in different surroundings and interacting with others can relieve boredom, increase exercise and be an all round enjoyable experience. A trip to the local town centre for elderly people for example can allow them to enjoy the freedom of shopping and eating out without the worry of transporting themselves to and from the location. If people in the community are housebound then being so restricted can sometimes lead to feeling very isolated, particularly if they have no family nearby. Community mobility transport can potentially change these people’s lives as they will be able to experience freedom and benefit from new experiences.


Health visits


Going to the doctors or to hospital can be a traumatic experience as it is, but this can be multiplied if people have the added worry of not knowing how to get there. Transport in suitable vehicles with features such as ramps, swivel chairs and extra legroom can make the experience much less stressful. These vehicles are ideal for places such as care homes for the elderly where residents may need regular checkups and organising transport could be time consuming and the vehicles may not be suitable for all the residents.


Hobbies


Just because people are in a care home or have restricted mobility, it doesn’t mean that they necessarily want to give up their regular activities and hobbies. In fact, many people benefit from keeping an active interest in their hobbies and interacting with other people in the community. Many people, particularly the elderly, enjoy attending church regularly and staying in touch with friends there. Other hobbies such as bingo, the theatre, visiting the library and attending community groups can be made much easier with the use of mobility vehicles, particularly if there are many people in the same area that enjoy the same interests.


Visiting family


Families of the elderly or people with a disability may not always be able to visit their relatives, particularly if they don’t have their own transport. By having access to a mobility vehicle people can be safely transported to their families’ homes and relax for the day in a familiar environment. This also takes some of the pressure off the families as they will know that their loved ones will be safe to and from their journey to their home.


Mobility vehicles can enhance the lives of the elderly and people with restricted mobility so they are definitely worth considering if you look after people in your community.
