The ability to drive is fundamental to the everyday lives of a large portion of the population in the Central Valley, East Bay, North Bay, and the surrounding areas in California. By doing so, they are able to keep in touch with the outside world and keep their independence. But driving may be challenging, if not downright dangerous, for many people due to a variety of cognitive and physical impairments.

For instance, age-related physical changes like blurred eyesight, slowed reflexes, and weaker muscles, as well as cognitive changes like forgetfulness or disorientation, might impact the capacity of older adults to drive correctly. Fatigue, nausea, and dizziness are just a few of the cognitive and physiological changes that new moms may experience that make it hard for them to focus on the road safely. Individuals experiencing physical restrictions as a result of a disability, an accident, or surgery may also find it challenging, if not impossible, to drive themselves.

Those who have lost the ability to drive may find this change particularly challenging. They might experience feelings of loneliness because they can’t go out and socialize as they wish or embarrassment over having to rely on others for mobility. You may not always be able to help a loved one who relies on you for transportation if you have a career or your own family to take into account.

Fortunately, residents of San Ramon, Stockton, San Rafael, and other Bay Area and Central Valley communities may rely on J&M Homecare Services for transportation and support with other Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). Our Caregiver on the Go service ensures that you will never have to worry about transportation again by pairing you with a trained and dedicated home care aide.
