Episode 88: Transportation Solutions for Caregivers and Older Adults

In this month's episode, Roberto and Martha chat with Adrianna Yemhatpe, Director of Social Services at Travelers Aid Society of San Diego, an organization that has been connecting vulnerable populations to critical services for nearly 125 years. Listen to their conversation about free transportation options available to low-income older adults and people with disabilities in San Diego County, including paratransit, rideshare, and a volunteer driver program that compensates caregivers for rides they're already providing. They also explore supported services like orientation and mobility training, travel training, and organized social outings that help seniors maintain independence and quality of life.
