Providing transportation support, connecting individuals with community activities

Transportation and Community Support

Transportation and community support can help individuals who need assistance getting to authorized appointments, completing errands, or participating in activities outside the home. It may be relevant for an older adult who needs help attending appointments, a person with a disability who needs support accessing community activities, or an individual working toward greater participation in familiar community settings. Throughout Litchfield County and the broader service area, support may involve transportation-related assistance combined with help during appropriate community activities.

How It Works

Transportation and community support may include:

  • Transportation to authorized appointments
  • Assistance with errands
  • Support attending community activities
  • Assistance with community participation
  • Support with mobility during appropriate outings
  • Help maintaining established routines outside the home

What to Expect

Transportation support is provided for authorized activities and may involve assistance before, during, or after an outing, depending on the individual’s needs. The person may receive support getting to an appointment, completing an errand, or participating in a community activity while maintaining their usual routines and preferences. The type of assistance provided depends on the individual’s authorized services and the circumstances of each outing.
