Do your towns not have elderly transport services?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago

Where I grew up we didn’t have public transit, period, other than K-12 school buses. If you can’t drive you either ride with friends and family or pay someone to drive you, either of which can easily be an issue for the elderly. Medicare might pay for medical transport to doctor visits, but I’m not positive on that.
