Life doesn’t always go as planned. Sometimes we could use a little help getting around, either a hand up, an arm to lean on, or even someone to drive us to medical service appointments. Camarillo Health Care District offers door-through-door CARE-A-VAN Transportation Services for non-emergency medical appointments and other activities of daily living. Drivers are trained in CPR and first aid, and have additional sensitivity training in transporting frail, elderly, cognitively- and mobility-challenged riders. Rides must originate within the District, and costs vary, depending on the destination area and whether it’s round trip or one-way. Call 805-388-2529. More info and cost at https://t.co/mNnG5aQ7Zx
