Avoid the Heat and Get Where You Need to Go with Help from Wanda
Summer brings sunshine and longer days—and higher temperatures that can pose health risks for older adults and people with disabilities. Staying active and connected is essential, but getting out and about during extreme heat can be risky without the right precautions.
That’s where Wanda comes in. This summer, stay cool, safe, and independent with these essential transportation tips for seniors.
Schedule Rides Outside of Peak Heat Hours
The hottest parts of the day are typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. When possible, schedule errands and appointments in the early morning or evening to avoid peak temperatures. Wanda allows you to easily book rides in advance, so you can plan ahead for cooler travel times.
Choose Door-to-Door Service
Wanda offers reliable door-to-door service, meaning seniors and people with disabilities don’t have to navigate long distances or wait outside in the heat. Our trained drivers can pick riders up right at their front door and drop them off as close as possible to their destination—helping limit exposure to sun and high temps.
Stay Hydrated on the Go
Hydration is key in the summer. Bring a bottle of water for the ride, and consider keeping extra bottles near the door or in a travel bag so they’re always ready to go.
Dress for the Weather
Lightweight, breathable clothing, sun hats, and sunglasses go a long way in protecting seniors from the heat. When booking a ride with Wanda, you can also include any mobility equipment or weather-related needs in the notes so our drivers are fully prepared.
