Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization

I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.

Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
MIL Fixed income SSI. Husband was moved further away. Has no way to get there and barely has $$ by the next SSI check. She needs free transportation a few days a week. HELP.
Ask a friend or family member. If they belong to a church, the church may be able to help. It will be very hard to find actual free transportation unless you’ve got friends and family willing to drive her. If the bus is an option, she may qualify for a discounted monthly bus pass.
Here is an agency that provides free senior help including transportation. They have over 10,000 volunteers!!!!! It's called Elder Helpers. http://bit.ly/2JfS77H
Also, in my area we have what is called Access Transportation. It is door to door transportation within a given radius and it doesn't have to be just for doctors appts. It is through the public transportation department, so I would go to your local transportation website and see if you can find their services for the elderly and disabled. It might cost just a few dollars per ride if anything. You might have to apply before you can use it. It's like dial-a-ride, but if you go through the application process, then you get preferential scheduling. It's worth looking in to! I'd love to know if you find something. Good luck!
Check with the paratransit and find out if she can get a discount on the rates.
They can usually help out with the price if she has any disabilities.
Several times a week is difficult for volunteers doing free rides, probably need multiple resources, Catholic charities, jewish services, check ICS.
Is she getting part of dads ss so she can actually live? Being a community spouse she should not have had to spend down every penny to qualify for ALTCS.
I hope you find something, oh, does the facility have a transport van? Maybe they can take her home.
Assuming your MIL is also in your county, try this link:

which will take you to, I quote:
24-Hour Senior HELP Line
A one-stop resource staffed with professionals who can link you to the information, assistance and resources that best meets your needs.
the number is 24-Hour Senior HELP LINE at 602-264-HELP (4357), Toll Free at 888-783-7500.
And if they can't come up with any ideas, does your MIL belong to a church or similar community-oriented organisation? Perhaps they have volunteer services or something, and if MIL doesn't like to ask you could put in a call or two for her.
