Turn Flaget access into a personal care plan
Map the first five trips
Route the home to primary care, Flaget, pharmacy, laboratory, and a family contact. Record time, parking, winter, and backup transport.
Reconcile the bed sources
Ask the hospital and public directories which current bed count applies, what services operate, and how transfers or referrals work.
List specialty needs
Write down required specialties, clinicians, prescriptions, records, telehealth choices, regional distance, and referral timing.
Prepare for severe weather
Ask what happens during storms, ice, power loss, or a closed road. Keep medicine, contacts, transport, and a second route.
Questions retirees ask
