STARS Medical Escort Service

STARS stands for Special Transport and Appointment Recording Service.   It is a division of Acorn that is devoted to providing you or your loved one assistance beyond transportation!

STARS provides a helping hand, a listening ear and a comforting presence.  We are the perfect solution when you can’t go with your loved one to an appointment or if you need someone to accompany you to a medical procedure

STARS is discreet and confidential.  We protect your privacy.

Our STARS service is bonded and insured. Companions are carefully screened through a meticulous, multi-step process.  It  begins with a personality assessment which measures traits such as honesty, dependability and compassion.   We also do comprehensive background check which includes criminal history (both state and national), driving record and reference checks.
