My mom's ALF has informed me that they will transport her, but will not accompany her into the building. I find it hard to believe that every resident in the ALF is able to go into their appointments on their own. Having transportation to the appointments is one of the main reasons for being in the ALF as she no longer can drive and I live out of state. Has anyone else run into this?
My FIL would be brought into the waiting room but the driver would leave . My husband would meet his Dad at appts because it saved time rather than my husband picking him up . My husband would call to let the driver know when to return to pick up my FIL .
If your mother needs someone to stay with her at appts you may have to hire an aide to do that.
Your mom will need to find someone to meet her at the appointment if she needs that type assistance.
Some people do Telemed from their facility or see a doctor who comes to the facility. Of course not every medical issue can be attended in this manner.
I’m surprised this was not discussed with admissions before her moving in.
