Living in a smaller like Grey-Bruce offers a lot of perks–no crowds, lots of beautiful scenery and great people! But as a result, getting around can also be a challenge. This is especially true if you’re a senior or adult living with a disability and you don’t drive. Fortunately, there are affordable, accessible transportation services offered by HCSS Grey-Bruce–a non-profit organization. We help people meet these needs so that our clients can get to medical appointments and other important places!
Why Community Transportation Matters Services Matter
- Getting around: If you’re a senior or person living with disabilities and can’t drive, you might find public transportation harder to use. Without a way to get around, you could miss out on important things like doctor’s appointments, errands or social events, including attendance at HCSS’s Day-Away Program.
- Feeling connected and cared for: HCSS drivers are super-friendly and experienced providing rides to people with cognitive challenges like Alzheimer’s or dementia who can’t use public transportation safely. Our specialized transportation services offer compassion, a smile and safety. They can also really help you or a loved one access invaluable community supports that make a huge difference!
- Healthcare access: Fully accessible door-to-door community transportation services like HCSS’s will help you or a loved one to important medical appointments. Our friendly drivers are also trained to ensure the safety and security of all our clients–whether elderly or living with a disability.
