Transportation Services for the Elderly and Disabled

Our Transportation Program provides service to elderly and disabled residents of LaPorte county.  We operate only within the boundaries of LaPorte County.  Most of our vehicles are equipped with a lift, and we provide door to door assistance. Our drivers cannot provide any personal care assistance.    Clients traveling in a wheelchair must have a ramp if stairs are an obstacle, and a client in a bariatric chair must have a companion to ride along and assist.  Companions are encouraged and ride along free of charge.
Picture
Funded in part through Title III of the Older 
American’s Act and the Area 2 Agency on Aging

Trips are prioritized according to need as follows:
· Medical - doctors, dentists, medical facilities, pharmacies, medical suppliers, therapists, mental health centers, hospital discharge
· Nutritional - grocery stores
· Business - bank, paying utilities, legal appointments
· Benefits- Division of Family Resources, Social Security
· Visitation - This will apply to spouses who are living in a nursing or assisted living facility. 

We also provide transportation to individuals coming to and from our facility for services.

Fees
· Medicaid - If you are eligible for Medicaid, this will be our first line of reimbursement.  During the application process we will ask for your Medicaid number in order to verify that you have coverage for Transportation.  Medicaid requires that we charge a minimal co-pay.

· Title III Funding - Due to a very generous grant award from Real Services, we are able to provide rides for our elderly clients  with a suggested round trip donation of $10.

· Private Pay - If you do not have Medicaid and do not qualify for Title III, you may pay for your ride.  Due to generous funding from the LaPorte Hospital Foundation, Franciscan Alliance, and the Michigan City Community Enrichment Corporation, we are able to keep our fee at a low rate of $10 per trip for an ambulatory rider and $20 per trip for a  person using a wheelchair. 

Scheduling a Ride:
Please call our office between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to fill out a short application over the phone and to schedule your ride reservation.  We generally need appropriate notice, but please call to get our availability if you need a ride.  We will make every effort to help you!

  • New Year’s Day
  • Memorial Day
