3 Things to Check Before Booking Assisted Transport

When you refer a client, patient or resident for assisted transport, you want to know they will be safe, supported and treated with genuine care.

Before recommending a service, it’s worth asking:

1. Do they provide true door-to-door support?
Not just kerb-to-kerb - but assistance from the door, into the vehicle and safely to the destination.

2. Do their drivers really care about their clients?
For many people, the driver is more than a driver. They are a reassuring companion, helping reduce stress for clients, families and support teams.

3. Are they registered with transport subsidy providers such as Total Mobility and ACC?
This can make transport more accessible and affordable for eligible clients.

Freedom Companion Driving Services works alongside health professionals, hospitals, social services, disability and elderly support organisations, retirement villages and families to help people get where they need to go safely and confidently.

Need reliable assisted transport for someone in your care? Contact your local Freedom Driver.

Just a reminder that this coming Saturday 30th May is World MS Day 💙

MS stands for Multiple Sclerosis - a condition that affects the central nervous system and can cause symptoms such as fatigue, pain, weakness, balance issues, vision problems and mobility challenges. Everyone’s experience of MS is different, and support can make a big difference.

At Freedom Companion Driving, we help people living with MS stay independent, connected and confident about getting out and about.

Whether it’s a medical appointment, shopping, visiting family, attending an event, or simply enjoying a trip out, your local Freedom Driver can provide caring door-to-door transport and personal assistance - not just a ride.
