Safer than a taxi, cheaper than an ambulance
Mobility is our ability to move from one place to another—to go about our daily activities, moving from one to the next. It is something many of us take for granted. But for others, the lack of specialized transportation options, the expense of those options, and the difficulty accessing them can severely limit their mobility—and their quality of life. Sadly, 80% of non-drivers who have a disability and 40 percent of all older adults cannot do the activities they need or want to do simply because they do not drive. Care Safe Mobility (formerly Hippo Mobility) provides technology-based transportation services for disabled, elderly people, non-emergency patients as well medical staff.
