How Do Families Handle Transportation for Medical Appointments?
I’ve been thinking about how difficult transportation can become for older adults or people who need regular medical appointments, especially when driving themselves isn’t an option.
Some families manage rides on their own, while others use non-emergency medical transportation for things like wheelchair-accessible trips, hospital discharge, recurring appointments, or longer-distance rides.
For anyone who has dealt with this for a parent or family member, what has worked best — family rides, rideshare, or a dedicated medical transport service?
