Prime Life halts transportation service

Prime Life Enrichment, the countywide organization dedicated to assisting senior citizens, will end most of its transportation service on July 16. Needs for medical assistance in getting to a doctor’s office or needed dialysis treatment will still be offered.

The Carmel based non-profit did not receive a vital grant this year which has greatly aided in financing the organization’s fleet of vans and drivers. Prime Life will seek grants again next year to possibly renew its transportation service.

Prime Life, formerly known as Hamilton County Senior Services, has operated for more than 40 years offering physical fitness programs and social entertainment for county seniors. Programs other than transportation will continue.

Hamilton County Express, a transportation service provided by Janus Developmental Services, will offer an alternative for anyone impacted by the termination of Prime Life transportation.
