Seeking transportation for disabled person to appointments. Any recommendations?

Transportation for my dad who is in a wheelchair has been arranged through his doctor or through the hospital social worker and costs around $50, more if the transporter has to wait during the doctor visit. This is in Michigan. I looked up Alliance for Aging for your area, and there is a llink under I'm looking for elder services. Perhaps they can help. http://www.allianceforaging.org/

Google "assisted transportation, Miami, Florida".

There were at least 3 hits for what appeared to be Florida State links.

The prices may not be what you consider reasonable, but remember that the service needs to factor in the higher cost of the additional equipment required for assistive transportation.

contact american elder care inc in your state i don't know about your restrictions my insurance (humana) picks me up. but the elder care people should able to point you in the right direction. they have specified people for only solving different problems with elders. the helped my son.

Hi - based on what a friend told me recently, inquire with the local churches (and maybe civic organizations).

Ask Assisted Living places what they recommend, Dial a Ride, or ask DMV if they have any suggestions. Senior Citizens Care Places, Salvation Army, Local City Council, taxi services to see if they have specials

Sorry I can't find the card I was given by a service I used for my husband. I am a couple hours north of Miami. Ambulance took husband to hospital. Next day they told me to take him home. I said I don't know how, he was unable to stand or walk. The hospital called a service they use...looks just like ambulance and might be one, not sure of their services. BUT they said if I ever needed him to go to appointments to give them a call. They said because my husband was unable to walk and stand that the service was covered by Medicare.
Again, sorry I don't have the name. Maybe you could call a local hospital and see who they use...to transport a patient home.

Check with your local Social Services. They will know where and how to get it done.

Sometimes medicaid (state insurance) covers transportation to medical appointments. Also call his insurance and check with them to see if they cover transportation, or have suggestions. Some groups like the cancer society, sometimes can manage transports also. Google or call a crisis line if you don't find anything.

Jewish Family Services are across the US. Here in Louisville they have a wheelchair van charging

I had the same issue, horrible! If you are housebound maybe the doctor can send the VNA(visiting nurses association) to your house for bloodwork and check ups. The doctor did that for me twice. Then I bought a used van with a ramp. Its old and I had work done on it but it gets us out 6-7 times a year and thats what we needed.
