My mother needs transportation to doctor's appointments etc. for the times that I am not able to take her. She uses a walker and needs someone to hold her walker while she goes down a short step on her front porch. Are there any programs that can help her?
Or check with your local Agency on Aging to see if there is a senior bus pickup, usually the cost is quite low, if Mom doesn't mind riding a bus [the buses are usually small].
Service is generally lower cost than private sector options. E.g., point to point within 10 miles of my house is $1.00 each way.
Some local senior centers also contract with the local transit agency to use small buses for pick up of seniors for shopping or medical appointments.
