Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.

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:
Bertha, one could check with a taxi company to see if they have senior discounts, or check with your County/City to see if there is an elderly mini-bus service.
I have come to love Uber. Fairly cheap, less than maintaining a car, for sure. You do need to be somewhat "techie" able to use the app, but I love it when out of town, and hubby uses them every week when he needs a lift to the airport and this old gal is not doing chauffeuring anymore.
Regional and local transit authorities can offer different kinds of transit. "Linehaul" is the kind most people think of; it stops at regular stations or points or access, on a scheduled route. In my experience, most linehaul buses have wheelchair lifts. But it is very public, and time consuming b/c of the planned stops.
Paratransit, a/k/a small bus, is door-to-door service. Your local public transit authority can provide information on small bus services. In my area, it was only $1 one way for door-to-door service w/I a 10 mile radius. Arrangements do have to be made in advance though. However, you can't beat a few bucks for a ride!
Some Senior Centers offer the same paratransit service but to limited destinations, such as only within the community, or to specific grocery stores, and on specific days.
Contact your local county government for more options. Or, if Nevada has a senior agency at the state level, they might be able to help, but I think local agencies would offer more information, especially for your specific area.
There may be other, private rather than public, agencies, but my experience is that they're quite expensive. If either of you are a Veteran, you might ask when you call an agency for a quote. One service I found did give Veteran discounts (but the basic prices were so high that the discount should have applied to costs all across the board.
Your doctors may also know of various services. Our ophthalmologist did b/c his staff made arrangements for pickup and delivery for cataract surgery the firm performs.
Do you have neighbors who might help out? You could pay them to take you; some seniors I know have done this.
Seems I responded to this same question a few days ago. Uber and Lyft. Also check with your local public transit authority. Mine will provide point to point rides at the same cost as a bus to people that can't ride the bus. It needs to be schedule in advanced. Also check with local senior organizations. My area also has a program where volunteers drive people to doctor's appointments for free.

Good luck!!
My area will send a tiny handicap bus if you use a wheelchair. I think it’s no charge and they pull up to the door.
