Looking for female companion to accompany me while at Mayo, Rochester

Posted by summerof42 @summerof42, May 13, 2023

I'm a female and don't require any medical care assistance, but coming in from WI alone for several appointments (meeting with primary care MD first). I know Mayo is a bit overwhelming and looking for emotional support as I'm quite scared between shuttling to the building(s) and ordering and arranging for meals, whether going out to eat or ordering in and providing that company and support.

Maybe even joining me for a movie, etc. I would like this individual to arrive at the hotel in the morning for my appointments. Looking for someone who lives in Rochester so they can return to their own home every evening.

I hope this is the right place to post this request and look forward to hearing from you! Thank you kindly in advance for your support!

Hello,
I have the endoscopy 7/31 mid morning and will be done by early afternoon. I just need somewhere there for them to discharge me to in order to make sure I get back to the motel ok. (make sure I get to the shuttle). So it's literally just an escort from the appointment to the shuttle.
Thanks!
Steph

@skhollandmt you could have them send for a wheelchair and a person to wheel you down to meet the hotel shuttle. This is a service they provide if needed. If just making it to the shuttle is all you need, it would be the easiest solution. Hope this helps!
