Thrilled to share we were in the The New York Times this week as an example of a #transportation solution that’s helping #agefriendly cities offer subsidized rides for #olderadults and those with #disabilities. In addition to offering our direct-to-consumer model since 2016, GoGoGrandparent has partnered with 250 health systems, retirement communities, nonprofits & government partners and counting across the U.S, focused on helping their communities age #independently through subsidized GoGoGrandparent #rides. But what does that really mean? It means more older adults are able to get to their scheduled doctor's appointments without asking for a favor or paying for a taxi. It means more people with disabilities can participate in #community events or visit their friends across town, helping reduce social #isolation. It’s always more than just a ride. It’s about the #freedom to get where you want and when you want, using a simple phone number to get you there. https://lnkd.in/gUBn38ZE

While GoGoGrandparent was originally created with #olderadults in mind, GoGo is also a helpful solution for those in the #disability community. We serve tens of thousands of people who are #blind or have #lowvision , many of whom are under 60 years old, because GoGo creates #access to reliable services that support #independentliving. Some GoGo features that are especially helpful to customers are blind or have low vision include: ✔ A phone number to order on-demand or scheduled rides ✔ Asking drivers to announce themselves to the rider and confirm details. ✔ Sharing a description of what riders are carrying or wearing to help the driver more easily find each other. ✔ Texting and calling riders to let them know when the driver is nearby. ✔ Notifying drivers if riders have a guide dog or ambulatory equipment, and much more. Check out our recent conversation to the American Council of the Blind community about all the ways GoGo can help people thrive at home and in the community. https://lnkd.in/ew4M9deZ

If you are (or if you know) a professor or scientific investigator interested in being a part of an NIH grant program, and a new part of our dementia services offering, please reach out!
Co-Founder & CEO at GoGoGrandparent: Helping at-risk populations manage millions of instrumental activities of daily living to age independently and confidently at home.
GoGoGrandparent's mission is to help older adults live in their homes for as long as possible. Since launching in 2016, we have fulfilled millions of requests from hundreds of thousands of older adults (& caregivers!) for on-demand access to rides, meals, groceries, prescriptions, home services, and fitness classes, most recently through our membership offering. We're exploring various R&D programs to support our next phase of growth including new hardware and software to improve the experience of GoGo members with early-stage Alzheimer's disease and dementia. We plan to try to partially fund product development through an application for grant funding with the National Institutes of Health, and are seeking academic or non-profit research partners with expertise in geriatrics and non-pharmacological dementia interventions. If you know professors or other investigators who might be a fit, we'd really appreciate an introduction or referral. Please reach out to me or Bala Raja if you or someone you know of could be a good fit!
