Mom is at home 8 hours from me. Takes care of herself pretty well at home, is 83, early stages of dementia.I’m desperately trying to find rides to and from activities and appointments. I tried the Council on Aging in her area there is nothing reasonable as far as transportation. Med-Shuttle- $150 for round trips!!! Votran Gold - $3.00 cash (exact change only!) every time she gets on but really I don’t see her understanding that whole system.She lives in Volusia County Florida and I’m quite surprised with the aged population there are so few options!She no longer drives.
I think Mom needs to be placed if she can't understand she needs to pay $3.00 to use a Senior shuttle. Assisted Livings usually have transportation for residents. Once someone is diagnosed with Dementia, they should not be alone.
