Respite Transportation

Children who have medical complexities can be safely transported from their home to Almost Home Kids, under the supervision of a medical professional, for respite care. Children with complex medical conditions that rely on medical technology require a significant amount of supplies and back up equipment to travel with them – the logistics of moving their supplies in addition to transporting the child safely can also be difficult for families. Having a transportation service like Angel Wheels makes the process manageable and efficient.

The program is a support arm of the respite care program and provides an easy way for families to more effectively utilize respite services at Almost Home Kids.
