Hall Gives Back
Hall and SSSEVA Support Local Seniors
Safe, affordable transportation
is critical for older adults to maintain quality of life and independence, so
they can remain healthy, active and engaged in their communities. It also is a
means for older adults to avoid social isolation which studies show contributes
to health issues including depression, poor nutrition, and increase in fall
risk among the elderly population.
Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia (SSSEVA) is a
nonprofit organization whose
mission is to provide seniors and their caregivers with access to programs and
services, so they may live their lives with choice and dignity in their
communities. Through our community grants program, we were able to support
vehicle operations (gas, oil, maintenance, and care) for SSSEVA's fleet of
vehicles which makes non-emergency medical rides possible for seniors ages 60
and older residing in the City of Virginia Beach and the surrounding Metro
areas.
Through our
partnership, SSSEVA was able to;
- Provide 2,048 one-way trips for non-emergency medical rides to more than 100 seniors ages 60+ in the City of Virginia Beach.
- Provide an additional 9,579 one-way trips for non-emergency medical rides to more than 500 seniors ages 60+ in surrounding metro areas including the cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Portsmouth.
"If I didn't have
access to I-Ride, I would have to pay a friend or family member to take me to
the store and the doctor. I-Ride has provided me with vital transportation. If
I call, they will come and accommodate my doctor's appointment. They help me
get out of the house, so I don't feel so lonely."
