My Mum has Alzheimers middle to last stages (I think), and probably Parkinson's on top. She seems to have lesser and lesser mobility. She was a bit better yesterday but doesn't seem to have any strength at all today. She's going to a care home on Wednesday. I'm concerned we're really going to struggle to get there. We have a wheelchair, but it's the getting in and out of the car that I'm worried about. If she can't stand or move very well, she might end up falling.
She also has a hospital appointment on Thursday which we've arranged hospital transport for with (hopefully) ambulance crew who can move her around as needed.
Does anyone know if there any sort of transport available to take someone to a care home? Has anyone experience of doing it when someone has very little mobility? This has come out of the blue unexpectedly. Up until a few days ago she could stand and manage a shuffle-walk okay. It's all stopped without warning.
