Posted by Broadway Lion on Sun Oct 19 08:25:15 2014, in response to Re: As America ages, public transportation will grow, posted by Dave on Sun Oct 19 07:56:15 2014. Most communities do have public transportation for the handicapped.In Dickinson it is simply called "Public Transit" Instead of numbers on their beese, they have figures. A green dinosaur, a yellow star, a red apple, a blue something or other. Most of the nursing homes and assisted living centers have their own van. And even these are covered by public funding monies. The Van in Richardton operates out of the Richardton Health Center, but it is registered to the clinic and is available to all, not just nursing home residents. The Doctor told mom and dad that they could not drive anymore. They were of course crushed, and mom defiently asks the doctor if he made house calls, and he said "For you, yes, of course I will" Now that is not NYC, but I do believe that they have some "doctors on Wheels" program of some sort. Comes a time that a person can be told that they can no longer drive. We do that here at the Abbey, but of course we have other drivers willing to take people around. ROAR |
