I need help on spouse dialysis transportation. Any advice?
Medicare does not cover, don't qualify for Medicaid. I am disabled. Spouse doesn't drive. I have contacted state and local agencies. Resources to pay for wheelchair van out of pocket are running out. Live in Stafford, VA.
Contact the local public transit agency in the largest city near you, as well as the local Senior Center. Transit agencies often have point to point services which are very reasonable ($1.00 within a 10 mile radius in my area). The smaller buses are usually equipped with lifts for wheelchair access.
Sometimes Senior Centers have arrangements with the public transit agencies to provide transportation for seniors in their geographic jurisdiction.
And do ask someone at the Dialysis Center; they probably deal with this issue on a regular basis.
