Words From Michelle Cord-Dacy, Founder

“As an industry professional with 20+ years working with people with special needs and their families, a mom of two, and former caregiver,

 I promise that you are in capable and caring hands.

For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of coordinating wheelchair accessible transportation for scores of corporate clients, non-profits, trusts, healthcare organizations, law offices, case managers, social workers, insurance companies, retirement and long-term care facilities, hospitality professionals, individuals and families.”
