sober companions

Safe travel with human support, because getting there shouldn’t mean going alone. At Sober Escorts, we provide experienced, compassionate travel companions to help older adults get to and from appointments, errands, events, and more. No matter if it’s a local doctor’s visit or a cross-country trip to see family, our companions stay by your side from door to door, offering comfort, physical assistance, and calm reassurance throughout the entire experience. Our travel companions for seniors are here to make sure older adults feel supported, safe, and seen every time they leave home.

Experienced Support for Seniors, Every Step of the Way

As we age, everyday travel can become more complicated, especially for those managing medical conditions, memory loss, or limited mobility. Our senior travel companions are trained, trusted professionals who provide personalized non-medical support from start to finish. We help with:
  • Moving through unfamiliar or crowded environments like hospitals, clinics, or airports
  • Providing physical assistance with walking, stairs, or getting in and out of vehicles
  • Staying present during appointments to provide comfort and take notes if needed
  • Assisting with check-ins, forms, and communication with staff
  • Offering emotional support to reduce travel anxiety or confusion
  • Helping manage logistics like bags, medications, and follow-up plans
Regardless of it’s a one-time ride or ongoing weekly support, we are committed to offering reliable help and a steady, calming presence.

Who We Help With Travel Companion Care

Our senior travel companions are ideal for:
  • Older adults who no longer drive and need help getting to appointments or errands
  • Those with memory issues, mobility challenges, or recent health concerns
  • Seniors who live alone and feel safer with someone by their side
  • Families seeking dependable support for aging parents or loved ones
  • Clients transitioning from a hospital or treatment center back home
We tailor every support plan to the individual, with close communication between our team, families, and care providers to stay aligned on health needs, schedules, and goals. Safe travel with human support.

What to Expect With Travel Companions

Once a request is made, we carefully match your loved one with a medical companion based on personality, location, and specific support needs. Our team arrives on time, stays attentive throughout the experience, and communicates clearly at every step. Depending on the appointment or travel type, we can:
  • Offer one-time or recurring support
  • Assist with same-day medical appointments, outpatient procedures, or specialist visits
  • Provide travel support for longer trips or relocations
  • Accompany seniors for errands, community events, or family gatherings
Whatever the destination, our role is to stay by your side and make the experience more manageable.

Testimonials

“My experience is that addiction and/or trauma treatment can be a life changing experience – if you get there. To get to or from treatment safely, for myself or for a loved one, there isn’t anyone that I would trust more than Sober Escorts.”
Shawn, Client, Seattle, Washington
“I was no novice when it came to chemical dependency treatment. When I admitted this last time I felt that it was just an effort in futility. On the way to the treatment center my sober escort gave me the encouragement and the hope I needed. Now that I’ve been discharged, Sober Escorts is still a part of my support network. I’ve called several times. They have always made themselves available. I don’t always hear what I’d like to but I do hear what I need to. They do care and I am truly grateful for them.”
Debbie, Client, Rancho Palisverdes, CA
“If it weren’t for Sober Escorts (Rick) I definitely would not have made it to treatment safely. When I arrived at the airport Rick was there on time and waiting. The ride was great. Good music and laid back atmosphere. Rick is an easy person to get along with so conversation was good. Since Rick is in the program it took the edge off the ride and allowed me to not stress out as much. My experience was a good one with Sober Escorts and I would choose them again.”
Sarah, Client, Nashville, TN
