-
Increased Independence: By providing transportation, a caregiver can help the person receiving care maintain their independence and continue to participate in activities that are important to them.
-
Reduced Isolation: By providing transportation to social events or other activities, a caregiver can help reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness in the person receiving care.
-
Reduced Stress: By taking care of transportation needs, a caregiver can help reduce the stress and burden of these tasks on the person receiving care, as well as on their family members or other caregivers.
Overall, providing transportation to appointments as part of caregiving duties can help ensure that the person receiving care is able to access the care they need, maintain their independence, and enjoy a high quality of life, while also reducing stress and burden on family members or other caregivers.
