Assess
Understand the actual mobility need
Identify accessibility requirements, caregiver or companion needs, vehicle type, trip distance, and the assistance needed to complete the journey.
Treasure Coast Regional Companion-Assisted Medical Mobility Network
Access to care should not stop at the front door.
Absolute Community Access is developing a regional mobility-coordination network for people whose transportation needs go beyond a basic ride. The goal is to connect the right vehicle, provider, technology, travel navigation, and non-medical companion support so medically vulnerable residents can reach care—and get safely home again.

Companion-AssistedSupport for riders whose mobility barrier begins before the curb.
Regional by DesignSt. Lucie, Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, and Brevard counties.
The Need
A scheduled ride is not enough if the patient cannot complete the trip.
Some riders cannot reach a vehicle within a short pickup window, manage a wheelchair or walker and medical belongings, or navigate from a hospital entrance to the correct treatment department. Absolute Community Access is being designed around those real-world barriers.
Coordinate
Match the best available resource
Coordinate across public, nonprofit, VA, Medicaid, and qualified private transportation resources before using gap-filling network capacity.
Support
Go beyond the exterior door
When appropriate, coordinate trained non-medical companion or travel-navigation support for riders who cannot independently complete the trip.
Complete
Measure arrival at care
The standard of success is not simply “vehicle arrived.” The network is designed to track whether the rider actually reached the medically necessary point of care.
Who the Network Is For

Older Adults
Aging with dignity
Older adults facing frailty, driving cessation, limited nearby family, or mobility challenges.

The Promise
A ride is not truly accessible if the patient cannot reach the vehicle—and transportation is not complete if the passenger cannot reach the treatment location.
