Cannot drive so am looking for transportation for doctor znd dentist appointments and no taxis accepting wheelchair support. Where can I find a caregiver to drive and assist me?
Are you still in a facility? Do they not have a medical van service option?
Also call local churches to see if they have a Care Ministry (even if you are not a member or even part of that denomination). They may be able to set you up with a volunteer driver (I did this at my church when I was younger).
But maybe you need a medical van. Your weight will determine who will realistically be able to safely transfer you from the chair to the car and back. A medical van may be the best option.
If you're not still in a facility, then is your residence set-up for a wheelchair? With no stairs, and ramps where necessary? Or an apartment with an elevator?
