Getting There Safely

Home Care with
Transportation Built In

Most home care agencies stop at the front door: they can care for your loved one at home, but getting to a doctor's appointment, dialysis, physical therapy, or anywhere else is your family's problem to solve. Havenwood Care is built differently. Through our sister company, Corporate Wheelchair Transportation, we pair in-home care with safe, wheelchair-accessible rides across Hartford County, with a caregiver riding along when needed. One call covers the care and the ride.

How This Works

Two Companies, One Family, One Phone Call

Corporate Wheelchair Transportation is our sister company: a dedicated non-emergency medical transportation provider serving Hartford County since 2018, with wheelchair-accessible vehicles, trained drivers, and door-to-door assistance. You can see their services and book directly at corporatewheelchairtransport.com.

For Havenwood clients, the two work as one. When we build your loved one's care plan, transportation gets built into it: the standing Tuesday dialysis run, the monthly cardiology appointment across the river, the grocery trip with the companion caregiver, the ride home from a hospital discharge. You do not coordinate two vendors. You call us, and it is handled.

Recurring medical transport. Dialysis, physical therapy, and treatment schedules run like clockwork, week after week.
Appointments where a caregiver should be in the room. The caregiver rides along, helps at the door, sits in on the appointment when your family wants it, and reports back to you.
Hospital and rehab discharges. The ride home and the care waiting at home, arranged together, before the discharge date.
Errands and outings. Groceries, the pharmacy, the senior center, church, a drive. Giving up the car keys does not have to mean giving up going places.
Evenings, weekends, and short notice. Town Dial-A-Ride programs are useful, and we encourage families to use them, but they are generally daytime, advance-booking services. We cover the rest.
Why It Matters

Missed Rides Become Missed Care

Ask any discharge planner or dialysis clinic: transportation is one of the most common reasons seniors miss medical care. Appointments get skipped because the family driver had a work conflict, because the town van was booked, because a wheelchair would not fit in the sedan. Skipped appointments become setbacks, and setbacks become hospital visits.

Building the ride into the care plan removes that failure point. The vehicle fits the wheelchair. The driver is trained for mobility assistance. The caregiver your loved one already knows is in the seat next to them. And the schedule repeats without anyone in your family rearranging their week.

Getting Started

How Transportation Fits Into a Care Plan

1. Tell us the schedule.

Appointments, treatments, standing commitments, and the outings your loved one misses. We build transportation into the written care plan alongside the care itself.

2. We arrange the rides.

Corporate Wheelchair Transportation handles the vehicles and driving; Havenwood coordinates the schedule and, when wanted, the caregiver who rides along.

3. You get one point of contact.

Changes, additions, and short-notice needs go through the same person who manages your loved one's care.

Town ride programs are genuinely useful and we encourage families to use them. They are generally in-town or daytime services with advance booking and limits on recurring medical trips.
