Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Call a Catholic Church (Or other church with service minded groups.) Catholic Churches usually have a “Ladies Guild” that is made up of many women who love and have time to volunteer. If they knew that you were in need, someone would surely help you. As a courtesy, you could donate a bit to their current cause.
I agree with you that there really should be more more services for the aging.
This is a need for me. I am a caretaker for my husband but he is away in rehab right now. He will be coming home in a couple of weeks and I need to try and get myself back on track. I have an occasional back problem from two previous surgeries. The pain has been very bad and unrelenting. Opioids are not an option until I've tried the steroid injections.
The pain clinic at Scott & White requires a driver to administer the injections I need. We can't drive for 24 hours afterwards. There is a neighbor here that would drive me to and from but she is away right now in Austin with her daughter. I could give a couple of days notice after I get the appointment. I won't schedule it until I have transportation. I called Texas HHS but they said there are few resources in Temple.
She told me if I was ADA or Medicaid there would be several resources. I am classified as neither but just need transportation to and from the doctor appointment. I could call a taxi but the comments for the Temple taxi resources say they aren't on time and just not reliable. Maybe someone knows which taxi company is a good one to use.
I would personally get on the phone with yellow cab or taxis and talk with someone. Get an idea of what you are up against.
If you do find a driver who is reliable, get their cell phone number so you can call them directly. Make a personal contact with a driver so they know who you are.
It worked out well for me. I have my personal driver with yellow to pick my aunt up and me in his wheel chair access taxi. He is very nice and most of the time punctual. He will call if he will be late.. We know eachother by name, and he is great. He is the only one I trust to transport my aunt. He makes sure she is secure.
Do call personal transport companies, and do talk with someone, and when you find a driver you like, get that cell phone number and taxi number or whatever... for future rides.
I thought it was clever.. Last year I went to a restaurant in Arizona, that had a live longhorn steer in the front. That was something to see. Never seen one up close. Those animals have to be strong with horns like that. Gives me a headache thinking about it.
I went to the scott and white pain clinic for injections when i lived with my active duty daughter at fort hood. I had to have someone drive me but they never told me not to drive for the first 24 hrs. I sure hope you can find someone to take you....i sure do miss texas!!! My daughter got stationed overseas for 3 yrs so i moved back to Florida to help my elderly mom.

?
Do you drive? Do you need help because he is difficult to transport or do you not drive or own a car?
Can you give more information please.
Council on Aging here has buses for seniors to go to doctor appointments.
