My dad is in end stage bladder cancer and wants to come to Buffalo. I need suggestions for medical transport.

So sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss .

Buffalogal, I'm so sorry for your loss, but so so glad you were with him when he passed. May you be comforted by this, and loving memories. May you receive peace in your heart as you move through your grief.

Thanks w stone for all your help . In the end. I managed to arrange everything for him here, transport, hospice, skilled nursing and he was ready, but 4 days before we were going to move him I got the call to go to Philly. He had a very fast decline and he knew I was there and I slept in his room with him and sang him his favorite song while he took his last breath 3 days later. It was tough but I have no regrets. And he’s at peace and I’m good with a
that thanks to all of you for being a great support during our journey.

I have the same thought as Hothouse, you go to him.

Medicare will need to be notified of Change
of address. Since he is on hospice, there should be no hospital or doctor's visits. I would call United to find out if Dad can transfer his policy to ur State.

From what you wrote, it sounds like the end is nearing.

It’s too bad your dad didn’t agree to travel sooner, but I think he might be better off staying where he is now.

It is not what he wants but to have all this disruption if he is actively dying doesn’t sound good either.

You should be focused on just being with him now and not trying to pull rabbits out of hats trying to coordinate all this.

I would keep him where he is for his final days.

As mentioned above, if he needs insurance at all, it's not going to fly.

I moved my mother from one icounty to the next, and her Medicare supplemental insurance had to be notified two weeks before the end of the month. Well, we found a place on the 28th of June and moved her on the 3rd of the July, so she didn't have local medical coverage until August 1. Her old Doctor was able to prescribe her meds for July, but she had to have a physical after moving to the new place, and I paid out of pocket.

She fell on her third day at the new place and was taken in an ambulance to the ER, had stitches, and was admitted. Fortunately, it was covered, but that could have been hairy, too.

Mind you, if Dad is going straight onto hospice this may not matter, but know what you're dealing with before doing this move.

Dont you have to switch Medicare and all that between states? Is he private pay right now in his current facility? What is his end of life estimate from the doctors and hospice?

Why don't you go on Nextdoor.com and ask for recommendations for medical transport companies in your area?

trans-medcare.com is listed on the web as being a reliable source of transportation for seniors to travel to another state.
