If public transit, buses etc., arrive at or nearby your location then they have
to also provide a paratransit vehicle, which should have a lift or ramp and get
you where you need to go and return again. Call them and schedule appointments
for the trip to and from.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Taxicabs for wheelchair users??? With an attendant? Info
needed please I desperately need to get to one appointment with vocational
rehabilitation, because they will purchase the $40,000 Permobil power chair
with a Puff and sip navigation system so I would not have to be in the bed 24
seven as I currently have been for years. They have a rule that without any
exceptions, a potential client must show up at their office for one initial
appointment. I have begged for someone from my family to provide
transportation for me to one appointment for quite a while now, and it is
become painfully obvious no one is going to step up to the plate and assist me
in this endeavor, so I'm asking you guys what can I do to hire somebody like a
taxi for wheelchair people and an attendant, because I'm paralyzed from the
neck down so I cannot possibly use my arms to wheel myself around to even get
into the building. I don't even know what to search for to find out how to do
this so please explain it to me as if I knew nothing, because I truly don't
know anything about this. Since my arms became paralyzed, I've only been out of
my room at the nursing home on Thanksgiving and Christmas when one of my
children would come take me home each year. And to sit in the horrible
wheelchair they provide for me at the nursing home, is so uncomfortable I cry
even though they line it with bed pillows underneath my bottom and back and
feet. And when I had my power chair, the chair was fully articulating and was
much more comfortable than being in bed. Whenever I needed to I could
reposition myself in the chair without having to wait for somebody to come
assist me, which is a constant dilemma in an understaffed nursing home. As an
aside, I need someone to come stretch my legs and arms every day to move them
because I get unbearable cramps which I did not get when I had a volunteer
coming to stretch me every day, but she had to go back north. Please advise me
as to how I could hire someone to do this or get someone from Medicaid to
provide this service for me. Debra Scruggs-Scruggs phalanx-dragon slayers
