Common questions
Errands & Transportation in Ottawa: questions families ask
What errands and transportation services does Aviora provide in Ottawa?
A consistent Aviora caregiver in Ottawa drives the person to medical appointments, specialist visits, pharmacy pickups, and grocery runs - and waits with them, not just drops them off. The caregiver accompanies the person throughout, providing mobility assistance and a familiar, trusted presence.
Why is consistent caregiver transportation better than taxis in Ottawa?
A consistent caregiver driver knows the person - their mobility needs, their medical context, their preferences. A taxi is a stranger every time. For an older adult with dementia or significant mobility limitations, a familiar driver who provides assistance at the destination is meaningfully different.
Is errands and transportation covered by OHIP in Ottawa?
OHIP does not fund caregiver transportation or errand support. This is a private care service that many families arrange to fill the gap when driving is no longer possible.
How do I arrange a caregiver driver in Ottawa?
Call Aviora directly. A care coordinator discusses the transportation needs and frequency in Ottawa, and confirms a matched caregiver within 24–48 hours.
