Can I violate shabbat (driving) in this situation? (Orthodox preferably Chabad perspective please)

Elder family member BzH will be discharged from hospital tomorrow, understandably wants to go to her own home. I won’t be able to go there b4 Shabbat, there’s no way around that part.

I keep Shabbat close to 100% and HATE violating it. It’s not a life and death situation, in which case violating is permitted, but I think it’s unspeakably cruel to just let her be alone on Shabbat, ESPECIALLY having just been discharged from a miserable hospital stay and missing seeing family / kids etc.

Is there an official exception in this kind of situation?

Regardless whether I would be given the green light by a rabbi, I am of course going without a second’s hesitation. But I just want to know if it’s “officially” permitted.
