Obviously if it is really bad, you'll call an ambulance. But suppose you need to get to important medical appointments or carry on every-day life while not being able to get out and about.
Since you added "and can't drive" this is really not about LCF - but more generally, how does anybody, with or without a car, access services when they can't take themselves there, in or on their own vehicle. And of course, the answer is, they get somebody else to drive or accompany them, or use some other service like public transit (if they're mobile enough to access it). Some cities have a separate door-to-door disabled person's transit service. Or they take a cab or Uber/Lyft. Worst case scenario - call an ambulance.
