Louise and Beth in Scottsdale  Louise was living in a condo in Scottsdale when she found out she needed cancer treatments.  When it became obvious to her that she needed a lot of help, she contacted Beth at Care-To-Go.  Over several months, Beth tended to all of Louise’s needs at home and took care of her during her treatments at the Mayo Clinic becoming her advocate and loving friend.  Beth stayed with Louise during several ups and downs in her recovery.  After her recovery, Beth assisted Louise in moving to her home in Santa Barbara California.  To read more of Louise’s story click here.

Happiness in Dallas—After two years Richard can live with his wife again!  Richard was living in skilled nursing in Phoenix and his wife was in assisted living.  This meant they could not live together.  Their son and daughter-in-law found an assisted living facility in Dallas where they could live together and be close to them. They called Beth at Care-To-Go and arranged transportation for Richard to Dallas.  There had to be several special arrangements made since Richard had a stroke and needed complete assistance in and out of his wheel chair and into the airplane seat.  The trip was a huge success and the reunion joyfully tearful.

 

elder travelThe One Room Schoolhouse Annual Reunion  My brother Howard restored our childhood schoolhouse in Missouri with the help of friends and relatives. We all went there each September to clean up the schoolhouse and meet with our school mates and even a couple of the teachers.  For the last 4 years, it has been impossible for me to get there on my own.  The transportation to the airport, figuring out security, airport gates and rental cars became overwhelming. With the help of Pam my travel aids made the trip possible and very easy and enjoyable for me.  What a difference, traveling to Missouri is now a pleasure and I get to see all my Missouri relatives and old school friends.  Click here to read more.

Doris’s Trip To Hawaii  When it was time to book my flight to Maui to join my friends for a beach front reunion, I realized that the logistics of getting to the airport and getting to Maui was going to be too much for me. My Care to go caregiver and travel companion made it all very easy for me.  I was able to spend a week with my daughter and grand daughter.  Now I have pictures and memories that will last a lifetime.

Evelyn travels from southern California to visit her brother in Oregon.  This was a long awaited trip for a brother and sister that hadn’t seen each other for years.  Now both in their 90s, the 4 days they spent together was priceless for both of them.  This was their chance to talk about the good old days on the mid-west farm, stories of growing up and all the family and friends they had known.  On the night of the final dinner, plans were being made for the next family reunion.  Evelyn’s Travel Companion and caregiver escorted her from her house, to the airport, on the flights and stayed with her in her room an the hotel.  All went well and Evelyn loved every minute of the trip.
