When Getting There Becomes the Hardest Part
Your parent used to drive everywhere — the store, the doctor, the library, even bingo night. But now? Their license has expired. Their vision’s not what it used to be. And the car sits unused.
They won’t say it, but they feel stuck.
Too many seniors in Pinellas County face this same challenge: wanting to stay independent, but no longer able to drive safely. And without reliable transportation, everyday needs become major stressors.
At Around the Clock Homecare, we provide senior transportation services that help older adults stay active, connected, and in control — without putting their safety at risk.
Why Senior Transportation Is More Than a Ride
A ride isn’t just a ride when you’re older. It’s access. It’s freedom. It’s the difference between isolation and engagement.
For seniors, transportation opens the door to:
- Medical appointments and therapy sessions
- Grocery shopping and pharmacy runs
- Visiting friends and family
- Attending church or community events
- Picking up prescriptions
- Enjoying simple outings like the park or a haircut
We make these everyday moments possible — with compassionate drivers, flexible schedules, and safe, clean vehicles.
Transportation to Healthcare Appointments
One of the biggest reasons families call us is because a loved one has missed doctor’s appointments due to transportation issues.
We help by:
- Providing punctual, round-trip rides to doctors, specialists, and dentists
- Assisting with check-in and escorting clients as needed
- Waiting during short appointments so your loved one isn’t left alone
- Helping with paperwork, follow-up scheduling, or reminders
Whether it’s a cardiology follow-up or a physical therapy session, we ensure seniors arrive safely, on time, and with confidence.

We provide transportation for:

- Salons or barbershops
- Parks, cafés, and community events
- Even just a ride to visit a friend or grandchild
These trips keep seniors engaged, mentally stimulated, and emotionally fulfilled. We don’t rush. We don’t treat it like a taxi. This is door-to-door, relationship-based transportation.

Safety First, Always
We understand that families worry about who’s driving their loved one. That’s why safety is the cornerstone of our transportation service.
Here’s What Sets Us Apart:
- Trained, background-checked drivers with senior care experience
- Vehicles inspected, sanitized, and maintained regularly
- Riders assisted in and out of vehicles with mobility support as needed
- Real-time support if an issue arises during a ride
- Optional caregiver accompaniment for high-risk seniors
We don’t just drive. We protect your loved one from the moment we pick them up to the moment they’re back home.
Who Needs Senior Transportation Services?
This service is ideal for:
- Seniors who no longer drive but want to stay active
- Adults recovering from surgery or illness
- Seniors with vision, mobility, or cognitive limitations
- Those who feel anxious using ride-share apps or relying on neighbors
- Anyone who wants to remain independent but safe
For some, it’s occasional help. For others, it becomes a weekly rhythm — a lifeline to routine, socialization, and control.
You can also pair this with Companionship Services to reduce loneliness during outings.
Affordable and Flexible Scheduling
We understand that each family’s needs — and budget — are different. That’s why we offer:
- One-time rides (scheduled in advance)
- Regular weekly or bi-weekly appointments
- Multi-stop trips (e.g., doctor + pharmacy + lunch)
- Add-on transportation as part of care visits (e.g., homemaking or hygiene)
You’ll never deal with surge pricing or last-minute cancellations. Our transportation is reliable, affordable, and consistent.

How We’re Different From Ride-Sharing or Public Transit
While ride-share apps and local buses are helpful, they don’t offer what most seniors need: consistency, support, and familiarity.
With Around the Clock Homecare:
- Drivers are vetted and trained for senior care
- Your loved one sees familiar faces, not strangers
- We assist door-to-door, not curb-to-curb
- No confusing apps, surge pricing, or delays
- We care enough to notice if something seems “off” and inform family
This is not just transportation — it’s peace of mind in motion.
Bundle Services for Complete At-Home Support
Transportation is just one piece of the puzzle. Many families bundle it with:
- Medication Assistance – ensuring medication is picked up and taken properly
- PostCare Partners – transportation after surgery or discharge
- Homemaking – for grocery support, errands, and meal prep
- Personal Care & Hygiene – help before and after outings
These services build a strong, seamless support system for independence at home.
