In alignment with the MISSION: To be the bridge between information, services, and support for people of color.

VISION: To empower and equip people of color to have an optimal quality of life of Melanin Minded LLC.

 

Melanin Minded LLC will be piloting a dementia capable transportation service to support individuals in the early stages of Alzheimer’s Diseases and Related Dementia / Mild Cognitive Impairment, Older adults, and physical disabilities to continue to be able to get to the places they enjoy. We will be using a ridesharing app called Navigator Transportation under our company Melanin Minded LLC to ensure effective transportation

for seniors with dementia and their caregivers.

​

Navigator Transportation will help individuals who can no longer drive due to the progression of the disease navigate the community and connect with resources and activities. The Navigator Transportation driver-private contractors will be recruited throughout Milwaukee County and Fort Worth. Training sessions will ensure that the driver-private contractors will provide safe and dementia conscious transportation to

those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, caregivers, and other seniors.

​

Safety will be accomplished as driver-private contractors will assist the rider from their home to the car.

In addition, driver-private contractors will be asked to then walk riders to a drop-off personnel at their

desired location. This partnership will begin pilot in Milwaukee County with the goal

of serving as a model to be replicated in other States.
