Normally PRT is great. They pick up our residents for work and doctors' appointments. But today they dropped the ball. I called a week in advance to schedule a bus to take our assisted living residents to the theater to actually go have some fun. Which happens very seldom for them. I was told by the PRT staff that I would need to call a day before the trip so they could schedule the bus. I then called the day before, like I was told, and I was then told that all trips have to be scheduled by 4pm. I had called them at 4:45pm. The PRT staff then told me that she would go ahead and make an exception this time. I rounded 15 of my residents up the next day to go to the theater. This is a very difficult task in itself. The bus never came. I called PRT and they said they had tried to call me earlier to tell me that they couldn't come with the last minute notice I had given them. I then got irritated and told him that I did call a week in advance, and I was told to call the day before to schedule the ride! Which I did. They did not tell me to call by 4pm. He did not care and showed no empathy. In general, every time I call to schedule a ride for a senior for a doctors appointment, I personally always get "a tone" that's not nice. I don't know if they find the seniors annoying or what but it's not good. Do better PRT. Please care about these poor seniors just trying to survive in this economy that we live in. read more
