This week, after the monthly USF presentation at Savannah Center, there was a question-and-answer period regarding the care centers. Apparently, each center will serve only those residents geographically assigned to it. Since Colony is the only center built at this time, those not living in that area will have to wait for their facility to be built.
The speaker clarified this in response to a question from a woman who signed up months ago but doesn't live near Colony. She was told she'd have to wait for her center to be built. Also, the thinking is that you won't be able to go to a center out of your area in order to follow a provider.
Of course, we all want to be able to see the doctor quickly if there is something wrong. My husband's doctor is okay but his office will not answer the phone in person. You have to leave a message and hope they will return the call in a day or two. That is just unacceptable.
