Moving Seniors with Dignity: The Launch of Specialty Transportation Concierge by Liz Littleton

May 19, 2025

Navigating the logistics of moving a senior loved one across states or even across the country can be overwhelming—emotionally, physically, and financially. Many families face tough decisions when trying to relocate aging parents or grandparents closer to home, often with limited resources and few safe options tailored to senior-specific needs.


That’s where Specialty Transportation Concierge (STC) comes in—a new, compassionate solution bridging the gap between clinical medical transport and the personal care that seniors truly need. Founded by healthcare veteran Liz Littleton, STC is transforming the way older adults move across long distances by providing safe, affordable, and personalized relocation services for seniors and their families.

From Personal Compassion to Public Mission

STC is not just another transportation service—it is a deeply personal mission brought to life. With over 20 years of experience in hospice care, long-term care, and assisted living, Liz Littleton has seen firsthand the barriers that seniors and their families face when trying to relocate across long distances. The idea for STC was born from a moving real-life experience.


While serving at Lighthouse Assisted Living, Littleton encountered a resident who desperately wanted to relocate from Florida to Denver to be closer to family. Traditional medical transport services quoted over $30,000 for the move—a price far out of reach for the resident and her family. In an extraordinary gesture, Littleton stepped in to manage the relocation herself.



She researched affordable airline tickets, coordinated special accommodations, and personally escorted the resident across the country—proving that it could be done for a fraction of the original cost, without compromising safety or dignity.


That moment planted a seed. Liz realized there was a major gap in the senior care industry—an absence of customized, long-distance transportation options that respect the needs, preferences, and limitations of aging adults. Specialty Transportation Concierge was created to fill that gap.

A New Standard in Long-Distance Senior Relocation

Unlike traditional ambulance services or ride-hailing apps, Specialty Transportation Concierge is designed exclusively for seniors, especially those with medical conditions like dementia, mobility issues, or incontinence. The company’s focus is on non-emergency, long-distance medical transport—with the added layers of compassion, planning, and respect that families deserve.


Each transport is handled with the kind of attention usually reserved for private healthcare navigation. The STC process is meticulous, ensuring every trip is safe, comfortable, and even enjoyable. Some of the hallmarks of STC’s senior transport model include:


Personalized Pre-Trip Planning


Every STC journey begins with a thorough consultation. The team takes the time to understand the individual’s health conditions, mobility challenges, and emotional needs. Family members are involved from the beginning to ensure every detail is considered—from medication schedules to preferred snacks.


STC also coordinates special equipment, such as reclining wheelchairs, oxygen concentrators, portable lift chairs, urinals, incontinence supplies, and more, depending on the client’s unique health needs.


Airline Comfort, Senior-Friendly Style


Instead of relying on commercial medical transportation or expensive chartered flights, STC uses first-class commercial air travel to reduce costs while maintaining comfort. Seats are selected for accessibility, privacy, and ease of restroom use. Liz and her team escort seniors through the entire experience—from curb to gate to arrival—eliminating the stress of airport navigation and layovers.


The first-class environment also ensures ample legroom, peaceful surroundings, and personalized attention throughout the flight.


Professional Companionship and Safety Monitoring


Unlike ride services that simply drop off and pick up, STC is with the client every step of the way. Whether it’s a senior relocating from assisted living in Florida to an independent apartment in Colorado, or a dementia patient moving closer to family in Arizona, Liz and her team provide professional companionship, emotional reassurance, and medical oversight throughout the journey.


In fact, STC caregivers are equipped to administer medications, handle minor medical needs, and ensure that hydration and nutrition are maintained during the trip.

Creating Joy in the Journey

One of the most remarkable things about Specialty Transportation Concierge is that it goes beyond logistics. Liz Littleton has a vision not just to transport seniors, but to create meaningful life experiences for them.


In one touching example, Liz recounted a journey she shared with a 99-year-old woman relocating to be with family. What could have been a stressful ordeal turned into a joyful memory. “We had a glass of champagne, relaxed, and had a really fun time,” Liz shared in a recent press interview. “It wasn’t just a relocation. It was a celebration.”



This mindset sets STC apart—transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, and recognizing that for many seniors, this move is a major life milestone, not just a transfer from point A to point B.

Why Families Are Turning to Specialty Transportation Concierge

STC answers a growing need among families with aging parents and loved ones living far away. As the U.S. population ages and mobility becomes more limited, many seniors are seeking to move closer to their children, grandchildren, and support networks. But until now, options have been limited:


  • Medical transport companies often focus on urgent care transfers or hospital discharges and are prohibitively expensive for planned relocations.
  • Ride-share apps are not equipped to handle the physical or cognitive needs of senior passengers.
  • Long car rides or solo flights are exhausting and risky for older adults.

Specialty Transportation Concierge offers a middle ground—safe, reliable, and dignified senior transportation that’s tailored to individual needs and far more affordable than traditional private medical services. By pairing compassionate caregiving with smart logistics, STC provides families peace of mind and a practical solution to one of life’s most delicate transitions.

Who Can Benefit from STC Services?

STC is ideal for a wide range of clients, including:


  • Seniors relocating from one assisted living facility to another
  • Older adults moving in with family members in another state
  • Seniors transitioning to memory care or specialized facilities
  • Families needing to reunite parents separated by distance
  • Elderly individuals recovering from surgery or rehabilitation who cannot travel alone

In addition, STC works with senior living facilities, hospice providers, and hospital discharge teams to coordinate seamless transitions between care settings and family environments.

Building a Legacy of Compassionate Care

Liz Littleton’s commitment to STC is a reflection of her larger mission: to revolutionize senior care through dignity, compassion, and innovation. With over two decades of experience in caregiving and senior services, Liz is uniquely positioned to identify the gaps in the system and fill them with empathy-driven solutions.



Her work at Lighthouse Assisted Living shaped her understanding of what seniors truly need—not just physical support, but emotional connection, consistency, and comfort. With Specialty Transportation Concierge, she’s bringing those values into a new frontier, ensuring that moving closer to family doesn’t have to come at the cost of stress, fear, or financial burden.

The Road Ahead

As the need for long-distance senior relocation continues to grow, Specialty Transportation Concierge is poised to become a national leader in senior transportation services. Liz Littleton is currently working to expand operations, train additional travel companions, and develop partnerships with senior living communities and healthcare providers nationwide.



The company also offers free consultations for families who are considering a move, helping them evaluate options, understand costs, and plan with confidence.
