"The idea for our program grew out a combination of my parents' needs when we moved them to an apartment and my experience with home-based psychotherapy. While my mother had excellent supplemental insurance she needed a medical van service to get to the clinic if we were unable to drive her at the necessary time. This was $70 out-of-pocket for a short trip. We also knew a home-bound neighbor with mental health issues who dropped out of therapy because she couldn't afford the cost of transportation. We developed this program to bring out-patient services to persons in private homes and in assisted living facilities and to coordinate these services with other service providers including primary care physicians and psychiatrists."
