Affordable Senior Care (ASC) wants you, or your loved one, to regain some of the independence lost to illness, injury or age. Their non-emergency ambulette service picks up and drops off patients just about anywhere; from clinics and hospitals to dinners and weddings – they are on call for your benefit.
Alex and Ella Yakubov began transporting seniors four years ago, with the intent to offer something that cannot be counted on with taxis or regular car services – security and safety for their clients. With 20 years experience managing ambulette services, Alex and Ella know what it takes to simplify the lives of those in need of transportation care.
Their bilingual drivers possess a livery license from the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC), ensuring professionalism where it counts. And if needed, their vans are equipped with lifts for wheelchair accessibility. Their “Wheelchair Anywhere” policy gives clients the confidence that ASC is just a phone call away.
They even pick up recently-discharged patients from hospitals as yet another way of taking pressure off of family members. They supply their own wheelchairs and will actually meet the patient in their hospital room, rather than just park outside and wait. It’s just another example of their client-first service and attitude.
The staff of ASC knows that they themselves might be in need of care one day, so they treat every senior they transport with dignity and respect every single ride with no exceptions. ASC does not mind going the extra mile with a smile and a pleasant attitude to make their clients as comfortable as possible.
Most rides to or from clinics and hospitals are covered by insurance – all ASC needs is a physician’s signature. Otherwise, ASC accepts cash, checks and all major credit cards for non-medical transports.
ASC has two offices, one in Brooklyn and the other in Forest Hills, convenient to residents of the North Shore Towers community. Call their Queens office at 718-261-7399 or their 24-hour emergency service at 917-442-8888. You can also email them at ascambulette@yahoo.com.
