## Why families choose Montessori Care

### Not a taxi service

Your carer helps you in and out of the car, carries bags, and stays with you if needed.

### Flexible booking

Regular weekly trips or one-off bookings, whatever suits your schedule.

### Combined with other care

Transport can be part of a broader care plan including shopping assistance and social support.

### Local knowledge

Our carers know the area and can suggest the best routes and parking.

*“I was missing doctor’s appointments because I couldn’t drive anymore. Now my carer takes me every fortnight and waits with me. I feel so much safer.”*
