Tonya Ortiz
Founder & Owner
A Personal Mission
Driven by Care
Tonya Ortiz founded AssistRide Companion Care with a clear purpose: to provide the kind of transportation she would want for her own family. With a background as a licensed CDL driver and Certified Nursing Assistant, Tonya brings both professional expertise and genuine compassion to every ride.
Having witnessed firsthand how stressful medical transportation can be for seniors and their families, Tonya set out to create a service that prioritizes dignity, reliability, and a personal touch — something no ride-sharing app can replicate.
As a proud member of the Central New Jersey community, Tonya is deeply committed to the multicultural families of Middlesex, Union, and Somerset counties — ensuring every client feels seen, respected, and safe.
"Your loved one is treated with the same consideration I would give my own family."
