At 82 Nancy fondly reflects on driving and the sense of freedom and independence it gave her. Unfortunately, over the summer Nancy received the daunting news that every senior dreads. Her severe vision loss meant that she couldn’t renew her driver’s license The weight of reliance on friends, family, and public transportation soon sunk in. Friends and family were sometimes unavailable, and public transportation often felt unsafe, leaving Nancy isolated and missing important appointments, and skipping needed errands. Her crumbling independence worried those around her, prompting a caring neighbor to recommend using RIDE PVI. Nancy was wary of using a transportation service, yet a conversation with PVI’s friendly ride coordinator set her mind at ease and assured her that all rides are monitored start to finish. Nancy has regained her freedom and independence as an enthusiastic RIDE PVI user!
