As we age, our mobility and ability to travel independently can become more challenging. This is especially true for those who reside in nursing homes. For many, transportation to medical appointments or outings can be a significant hurdle. However, it is crucial for elderly care that these individuals are provided with safe and reliable transportation options.

At NorthStar Mobility, we understand the importance of safe and reliable transportation for nursing home residents. Our Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) service offers specialized transportation for elderly individuals with various mobility and discomfort issues. In this blog post, we will discuss why nursing home transportation is essential for elderly care and how our services can help.
