The COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges for businesses all over the country. Erratic and sometimes unreliable public transportation schedules, coupled with fear of infection, have made it particularly challenging for essential workers like home health aides who are often dependent on public transportation to travel to their clients’ homes. Now, home health aides can request on-demand Lyft rides through LogistiCare, ensuring their access to reliable transportation. The partnership between LogistiCare, Lyft and Care Finders Total Care, LLC represents a further evolution of company’s original contract with the New Jersey Department of Human Services contract which began with transportation of Medicaid patients, expanded to include the delivery of food and groceries in March and now includes transportation of certified home health aides to patient homes. As the fastest growing homecare agency in the Northeast region, Care Finders Total Care, LLC has been at the forefront of proactive COVID-19 responsiveness since the outbreak of the pandemic. Care Finders Total Care, LLC is dedicated to maintaining the health and safety of caregivers, their families, and patients, with availability of ample PPE. Transportation, however, is a constant challenge. “Helping to transport essential home health aides to their jobs so they can provide critical care for home-bound patients and support the needs of their clients is gratifying for us and for our network of transportation providers,” said Kenneth W. Wilson, Chief Operating Officer for LogistiCare. “This unique partnership demonstrates our desire to work collaboratively with organizations who need transportation resources to support and fulfill their missions.” “We are delighted to be working with LogistiCare and Lyft,” said Martha Stuart Williams, COO of Care Finders Total Care, LLC. “They have provided a critical transportation solution for our workforce, which allows our patients to receive the essential services they need in a timely manner. We look forward to continuing our partnership to deliver the quality care and superior health outcomes that are central to our mission,” Williams added. LogistiCare’s ongoing relationship with the State of New Jersey and its new relationship with Care Finders Total Care, LLC, food banks, municipalities, nonprofits, school systems and government entities, represents the company’s desire and ability to adjust to meet the needs of the state’s most vulnerable residents during the pandemic. Nancy Fitterer, M.A., President & CEO of the [**Home Care & Hospice Association of New Jersey**](https://www.homecarenj.org/), expects the initial program with Care Finders Total Care, LLC to expand with more agencies looking to LogistiCare to provide transportation for their home health aides. “Never have we faced a bigger need to create unique and efficient transportation options for home health aides to reach the homes of their Medicaid patients,” Fitterer said. “With what appears to be a long winter ahead faced with growing COVID-19 restrictions, we must continue to provide seamless, critical care to patients unable to leave their homes.”   **About Providence** LogistiCare, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Providence Service Corporation, is the nation’s largest manager of non-emergency medical transportation (“NEMT”) programs for state government agencies and managed care organizations.
