Comfort Keepers and Lyft

 

In February 2017, Comfort Keepers announced a partnership with Lyft, the fastest growing on-demand transportation service in the nation. This program offers a new level of senior independence and ensures that seniors can age in their homes even when they no longer can drive.

Comfort Keepers is working with Lyft to deliver safe, reliable, affordable, and hassle-free rides without the need for cash or credit card transactions. Additionally, this unique partnership enables seniors to access the benefits of a technology-based service without the hassle of using apps or smartphones.

“Our mission is to help seniors age in place as independently and comfortably as possible. Trusted transportation for seniors gives caregivers and seniors alike peace of mind that they have access to easy, fast, and affordable transportation,” said Sarosh Mistry, Chief Executive Officer, CK Franchising, Inc.

“Reliable transportation not only allows seniors to remain independent, but it also reduces isolation and loneliness, two aspects that play a crucial role in overall well-being and quality of life.”

About the Partnership

“Lyft is committed to improving how the elderly and people with disabilities experience life by providing convenient, on-demand transportation to those who need it most,” said Gyre Renwick, head of enterprise healthcare partnerships at Lyft.

“We’re thrilled that we can work with organizations such as Comfort Keepers because it means we help make a difference in people’s lives by reducing isolation and empowering people to age with independence and mobility.”
