I'm doing a project involving nursing homes. One of the services nursing homes like to advertise is "escort service." Now, when you're paying $ridiculous to keep granddad in a home, I could see wanting to make sure he's having a good time, but the usual meaning of "escort service" still seemed implausible. it took me forever to find someone who could and would explain what it really meant.

They mean that they can have someone escort their residents to doctors' appointments.
