For individuals with mobility challenges, reliable transportation is more than just a convenience—it’s a lifeline to independence, healthcare, and social connections.
At ADL Rehabilitation Centre, we understand the importance of accessible and safe transportation for wheelchair users. Whether you’re traveling to medical appointments, therapy sessions, or simply running errands, finding the right wheelchair transportation service is crucial.
