Transportation

Eileen, thanks for all the work you did while you were down here. Sounds like you guys got a tremendous amount done. I'm going to visit the Brushy Creek place if I get a chance. Rose is going to join me Sat. afternoon so I may be able to get there. For what it's worth, I looked up some ambulance services in Greenville. If it helps Tom, Dan and the caregivers here's the info: Bowers Emrg. Svcs 269-7888, $125.00 plus $3/mile. round trip. Medshore Amb. Svcs. 235-8888, $30,one way and $2/mile. There's a Kadi Med. Svc, but they haven't responded to my request yet. Mom needs to be in a wheel chair for transport and Maggie can go in the ambulance with them, but they have to know if she's going in advance. If Mom is non-abulatory they'll put her on a stretcher. Both companies need at least 24 hrs notice, and payment is due when services are rendered. Bowers said they would file for ins and refund the fees if they got paid. They don't stay while Mom is at the doctor, but come back to get her when called, so there would be some waiting time involved. I have no idea if insurance would pay. At any rate it might help with the "heavy lifting" and time away from work for doctor visits.
