Sorry to hear about this Rick.
You also missed an option "Would love to, but depends on distance & date."
Failing that, a donation to the specific department at the specific hospital. Yes, this isn't fair on those who don't attend that perticular hospital/dept, however, good service is good service. Not all hospitals offer the same level of service (for whatever reason). The way to make them improve service isn't to shower them in money, it's to reward the one's that are already achiving. This does only work to a certain point though.
So in short, failing a ride out due to the distance from me, or the date, I'm up for a donation to the department that helped your dad out. Not because of the nursing staff (inc doctors) but mainly for the policy of housing. Not all hospitals can do this, and those that can, often don't. It's unusual to find hospital directors etc that don't make life hard for the staff doing the grafting.
