What information must facilities provide for residents regarding transportation?

Facilities must provide residents with information about public transportation and services to meet medical appointments because this is essential for ensuring that residents have access to necessary healthcare and community resources. Understanding how to navigate public transport options or available services is crucial for empowering residents to maintain their independence and manage their health effectively. This information helps residents know their options for getting to and from medical appointments, which is particularly significant in adult residential facilities where mobility might be limited.

Offering only local maps or personal transportation with staff may not comprehensively address the residents' varying needs regarding mobility and access to services. Additionally, bundled services including taxi rides might not be a standard provision in every facility and could limit options for those who might prefer public transportation. Providing specific information about public transportation and services helps ensure that residents can make informed decisions based on their individual circumstances.
