What is this article about?

Clients living in residential care facilities or receiving care at home may be isolated due to illness, disability or frailty that prevents them from driving or moving around the community independently. In order to ensure that these clients can maintain a level of freedom, participate in their communities and access essential services, healthcare organisations may offer transportation assistance.
