Sandra Quinque is the CEO/Founder of A Golden Ride, LLC. As she watched her own parent’s age, she saw how difficult it was for her mother to “get out” without the help of Sandra’s father. Her mother, Beverly was fiercely independent. In watching this decline of independence and isolation in her own mother, seeing the “real” side effects of losing the ability to drive, is what drove Sandra to create a service to help seniors maintain their freedom and not have to rely on family or friends to get out to do their weekly activities. It is her mission to help seniors, veterans, adults with disabilities or anyone who needs to maintain a happy and self-reliant lifestyle.
"We are more than just a transportation service, we are people who care. We want you to feel special and rely on us as your golden companion in your golden years"
