Home support

No, the only active services at the moment are: help with bathing, grocery shopping, meals and weekly housekeeping.

Medical transportation

Yes, if your appointment is essential and is not cancelled. The coordinator will prioritize private vehicles, but if you do not have a private vehicle, she can provide medical transportation. To do so, we will make sure to check that you do not have any symptoms related to COVID-19.
You should call the Medical Transportation Coordinator as soon as you find out that your appointment is not taking place. That way, she will cancel the medical transportation and you will not have a penalty on your record.
If you are in no condition to drive your vehicle or if no one can take you to the nearest hospital, you must call 911 to obtain the services of an ambulance to take you to the emergency room for treatment as soon as possible.
Yeah. Just dial 911. As for the invoice, simply forward it to the coordinator for payment.
You must send your invoice as well as your medical appointment certificate by email to the coordinator in order to obtain reimbursement for your meal. For any expenses related to your medical appointments (e.g. meals, parking, etc.), please send your receipts to the Medical Transportation Coordinator at [email protected].
