Alton Community Care
What does it do?
We provide a transport service to hospitals, Health Centres, doctor's and dentist's appointments, fetching prescriptions, and also sitting-in.
Who it is for?
The service is available for anyone who cannot normally use public transport this is often the elderly or frail.
Unfortunately we cannot transport passengers who are unable to get into/out of cars without more than the minimum of assistance, unless such passengers are accompanied by their own helper who can undertake to provide the necessary assistance.
We need to know in advance if the passenger is taking a walking frame (and what size/variety), so that a suitable vehicle can be provided.
With regret wheelchair users cannot normally be accommodated.
