How to prepare for a wheelchair-accessible ride
Share the wheelchair type, building access, companion needs, appointment time, and return plan before the trip is confirmed. Preparing these details early helps the transportation team review vehicle compatibility and scheduling.
Planning recurring dialysis transportation
Create a consistent schedule, identify the dialysis center’s preferred arrival window, maintain current rider and emergency contact information, and communicate schedule changes as early as possible.
What families should know about hospital discharge rides
A discharge estimate is not always a ready time. The care team should confirm when the patient is actually prepared to leave, what mobility assistance is required, where the rider is going, and who will receive them.
