Mostly Independent
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:
Have you checked with your health insurance company? Mine (Kaiser Permanente) offers some transportation as part of the service.
It is not unusual to need help sometimes, we all do. Nowadays with folks getting SNAP and Medicaid and tons of other benefit programs intended to help low income folks who are struggling, why should someone needing transportation or help with other things be treated so badly? There are 43 million families in the USA who currently get SNAP benefits alone. Let's stop all the nonsense and derogatory sniping to those coming HERE asking for help with something they need. Either answer their question with useful advice or scroll on past. That's my opinion on this subject.
Reach out to the American Cancer Society. They have volunteers who pick people up for their appointments and bring them home. There are even volunteers who stay with someone during their treatment and check up on them at home. As Alva states in the comments, talk to the radiation care team. They will be able to help with this. You may also be able to get some temporary disability if you're not able to work for a while.
Bet you are right. Kaiser is very pro-active and they ASKED me if I needed help with transit. I don't even know what they would have provided and when I asked some of the workers how they get there daily as there is no real transit to the facility they all drove. When I asked how they got US there is we had no one they weren't certain but said "Oh.......... we will getcha here!!!!"
In my area there is a man with an apparently excellent reputation who provides rides to medical appointments and surgeries, stays throughout the appointment or procedure, takes notes if requested, picks up meds if needed, returns the person home, and sees to it they’re safe and okay before leaving. He is paid for this, but quite reasonably from the reviews. I know this from reading Nextdoor. Join Nextdoor in your community and pose your question, you may find similar help. Hope your treatments go well
This is something that you will have to go through your insurance or hospital system to access. Start with speaking to the Radiation Therapy team. I want to wish you luck, hope your team is a kind and wonderful as mine was, and hope you have a system 1/3 as good as Kaiser, which had a state of the art unit, but at a place in So. San Francisco called Oyster Point. Had partner not been able to get me there daily then we would have worked with the Kaiser Social Services team to accomplish it.
Again, want to wish you the best. Start with talking with your team who will be readying you for this with a lot of information, and will want to know your questions.
