Need transportation to doctors appointments usually once a month and grocery shopping 2 times a month. Any suggestions?

Doctor is a little bit of a drive for me since I live with chronic pain. Thank you.

Try calling your local County Senior Services for transportation assistance and referrals.  Other options would be a taxi, Uber, other similar services.

You could order groceries from most grocery stores online which are delivered by another party; even Walmart does that.  They all charge for delivery, and request a tip; many give a free 1st time delivery.  Mark 'Substitutions are ok' or if they're out of something you want, you'll get nothing which may be worse if you need something.  Most will refund money if you don't like something or if something is bad quality.

If you receive Medicaid as your health insurance either fully or partially, they offer transportation.

Hi Maregar, this isn't a commerce forum and you don't tell us where you live, but you can contact these resources:
- your local senior center
- your county's Agency on Aging
- social services (online at the Dept of Health and Human Services page)
- neighbors, churches (only people you know)
- caregiving agencies (like Visiting Angels, etc)

I hope this helps you!
