Mother cannot use steps anymore. We took county van, but it can't go up hill to get her in back. How can she go to eye doctor?

Is it possible for someone to wheel her out front?

Maybe the driver can push her from the back to the van.

Are the steps at home? Or the eye dr?

How old is your mom? Is there anyway for her to do PT to regain the ability to use steps? Does she need an ambulance transport or just a ride? I would think there are caregiving aides that can take someone like your mom to an appointment, costing a lot less than $700. I would also look to limit her appointments until and unless you find acceptable transportation.

Can a wheelchair ramp get her to where she needs to be? Apparently, habitat for humanity, lions and Masonic will do that for free.
