A nursing home is required to arrange for transportation for follow up doctor’s appointments, treatments and dialysis services. If the nursing home resident needs someone to accompany him or her and a family member or friend cannot, then a nursing home staff member should accompany them. Transportation to medical appointments is paid for by Medical Assistance and some insurance companies. In addition, the Department of Aging and Disabilities also provides transportation to these types of appointments without cost.
