Is there a service that can pick up an elderly parent and take them to their doctor appointment? Parent is on oxygen, but fairly mobile. Houston area. I had to call a cab for this. She needs a wheelchair and assistance. Can walk some, but needs assistance.
She is able to walk into the appointment and out again. I think if she needed assistance, someone would have to go with her because the driver isn't allowed to assist her in and out of the building.
I called our Area Agency on Aging and got their number. They are not non profit - but they must be subsidized in some way because $6 wouldn't even cover gas. So far, it is working out great. She has used the van twice. She isn't able to climb into the van - so they used the transport chair and the lift for her.
