GOLDEN HEART SENIOR CARE PARTNERS WITH AZ CARE TRANSPORT TO PROVIDE CRITICAL TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT FOR ARIZONA’S SENIORS

Golden Heart Clients Now Have the Option to Book Non-Emergency Medical Rides Directly through AZ
Care Transport’s HIPAA-Compliant, Easy-to-Use, Centralized Service

Scottsdale, Ariz. (March 26, 2021) — Golden Heart Senior Care, a leading non-medical home care company that provides ADL’s (Assistance with Daily Living) to Arizona’s seniors, is enhancing its services through a strategic partnership with AZ Care Transport. This partnership will expand non-emergency transportation options for Golden Heart’s clients in Arizona.

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, AZ Care Transport, is a new company providing non-emergency medical transport. The startup transportation service spent time perfecting its operations and customer experience prior to launching in Arizona earlier this year. The company’s reputation for reliable, safe, and quality service built upon healthcare compliance has attracted the attention of large senior care organizations like Golden Heart. AZ Care Transport focuses on transportation for seniors, foster care visitations, pharmacy order pick-ups and more. The company’s drivers are 5 panel drug-tested and background checked, CPR and First-aid certified, and each vehicle has tracking and safety features.

“We chose to partner with AZ Care Transport because of their quality service and safety-centered approach. Like us, they prioritize the client experience and convenience, making them a perfect fit with our mission,” said Laurie Malone, Managing Partner and CEO of Golden Heart Senior Care. “We want transportation to be the last thing that our clients worry about when getting to and from their medical appointments, doctor visits or errands like pharmacy pick-ups. Together, we’re working to remove transportation barriers that previously stood in the way of getting people the care they need. Wheelchair access transportation is a huge need for our seniors, and this makes it easy to accommodate. Our caregivers can accompany clients with AZ Care Transport, assuring ease and comfort.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has created many challenges impacting transportation options for at-risk seniors. The fear of infection made it particularly challenging for many who are often dependent on public transportation to safely navigate between doctor visits.

“This partnership represents a big leap forward to improve the quality and convenience of healthcare travel in Arizona,” said Nicole Phillips, founder of AZ Care Transport. “No more outsourced call centers or multi-day advance scheduling or long wait times. Safe drivers, as well as clean and sanitized vehicles are our top priority. Each vehicle is equipped with PPE and anti microbial spray and thoroughly cleaned between each transport.”

According to Phillips, AZ Care Transport is gaining momentum because it is a reliable, people-centered service for those whose very lives depend on making their medical appointments. “Despite a critical and growing need for non-emergency transport, many are unable to find reliable options and drivers who understand their needs. AZ Care Transport will fill that gap,” she added.

Founded and owned by Laurie and Rodney Malone, Golden Heart, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona serves 94 zip codes east of I-17.

Congratulations Tyler F!

Good afternoon Golden Heart team! We want to celebrate Tyler F today with a Caregiver Award, one of our newer hires, but highly experienced. Tyler has handled several end of life clients since he started with us.

One of our specialties is helping people come home for a peaceful transition if they wish. Tyler was a Military Medic and has handled extreme trauma cases. All of that makes him an exceptionally skilled clinical caregiver.

First of all, we thank Tyler for his military service. Secondly, we salute him for his exemplary work with our clients. One of our valued referral partners called me to express for the second time what a great job he does. Last night, he was on shift with a hospice patient. He was updating the office regularly and stayed by the man’s side until his transition. This care is what sets us apart from other agencies. Tyler will receive a bonus for his hard work.

Congratulations Bukky on your Caregiver Award!
