Transport Services that Make Your Life Easier
Residents benefit from having access to a qualified nurse to accompany them to and from medical appointments if family and friends aren’t available. The service ensures residents always have a companion on hand to travel with them for whatever reason; even if it’s simply to have a cappuccino and do some shopping in town!
In addition to transport, we will help residents get ready, whatever the occasion. Residents will be accompanied and supported through the journey – this will include everything from carrying belongings and getting in and out of the car, to helping with wheelchairs and any other mobility devices that the resident might require.
Our transport services ensure that no-one within the Kew Gardens family will need to utilise public transport or any other approach to care transport that is not appropriate.
Residents are also able to bring family members and loved ones along for the journey. Whether it is a spouse, friend or family member, they can accompany residents while using our concierge car service.
