Air Ambulance Options for the Elderly

America is getting older. Senior citizens are currently 13 percent of the population, and this number is expected to increase to 20 percent in the next 30 years. If parents are aging, need to travel for medical or other reasons and have health concerns, using an air ambulance is an excellent choice. This mode of transport will get them safely to their destination in the utmost of comfort. 

What is an Air Ambulance?


An air ambulance is an alternative to traditional air travel for those who are elderly and need extra accommodation when they need to go from one place to another. While many older people are very capable and independent in their own homes, waiting in long security lines and sitting in cramped seats on a commercial flight can be overwhelming and upsetting, especially if there are medical issues present. Air ambulance travel is different because it is tailored to the individual emotional and health needs of the patient. The service provides experienced medical staff and can make all of the arrangements in one phone call. 

Flying to Medical Appointments


A large number of elderly people do not go to their medical appointments because they lack the ability to drive themselves and have no other practical options. In some cases, a senior may need to see a specialist in another state where flying is the most efficient way of getting there. In either scenario, an air ambulance can be of assistance. The person will be transported in a comfortable and timely manner to receive the care they need. 

Moving Long Distance


Senior citizens often have physical disabilities and conditions like dementia that make them dependent on others to get them to medical appointments. When adult children and elderly parents live far apart, it is usually more practical to move the parents to a closer location. While this is often a good choice, it requires a great deal of planning and the expertise of an air ambulance company to handle all of the arrangements. All medical needs will be attended to during the trip, and the seniors will arrive safely without having to endure the inconvenience and discomfort of commercial air travel. 

Family Vacations


As parents age, children will often arrange family vacations and reunions to keep the generations connected. The most convenient place for these gatherings can be far away from where the parents live. Hiring an air ambulance service is a practical solution to transport the parents to the event location. All of their medical needs will be taken care of, and the journey will be comfortable, safe and fast. The service is even available to Hawaii and international destinations. Family time is important, and no one should have to miss out due to physical limitations or other health concerns. 

Returning Home


For seniors who are still able to travel around the world, an air ambulance can help them to quickly return home if they somehow become injured or ill on their trip. Many companies contract with providers internationally to ensure the smoothest experience in getting back to the United States. The medical personnel will ensure proper treatment and arrange for transfer to a hospital upon arrival. In this scenario, an air ambulance can truly be lifesaving.
