Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Takoma Park, MD
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Takoma Park is barely two square miles, with no hospital inside its borders, so almost every medical ride crosses a line — north into Silver Spring for Holy Cross Hospital, east to Adventist HealthCare White Oak Medical Center along New Hampshire Avenue, or south across the DC boundary to MedStar Washington Hospital Center. In-town stops like Fresenius Kidney Care Takoma Park and DaVita Takoma Park Dialysis handle regular treatment, and the Takoma Park Recreation Center keeps the calendar full with senior programs. We handle all of it, door to door — dialysis, hospital visits, specialist appointments, outpatient recovery rides, and the everyday trips that hold a week together.
Every ride begins at your front door, not the curb on your narrow block. A driver walks up, greets you, helps you into the van, and makes sure you're settled before we pull onto New Hampshire Avenue. When your appointment wraps, the vehicle is already there waiting. It's the kind of care we'd want for our own parents, and the only way we know how to treat the person who matters most to you.

Testimonials
My mom needed transport after her pacemaker procedure. The driver was patient, careful, and treated her like his own grandmother. She felt safe and cared for. That's what matters.
– Jason R.
My mother's oncologist is a 30-minute drive and she goes every two weeks. The vehicle is always comfortable and the driver always respectful. It makes a hard situation a little bit easier.
– Ernest P.
The tie-down process took under two minutes and was done right. No tugging, no repositioning, no apologies for taking long. The driver was efficient and my chair didn't move an inch during the trip.
– Florence V.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
The simplest route is a phone call to 877-369-5457, or tap the "Book a Ride" button near the top of this page. For non-urgent trips we ask for 24 to 48 hours of heads-up, though same-day rides around Takoma Park are often workable when a vehicle is free nearby.
Do you accept Medicaid, Medicare or other health insurance?
We take credit card or cash payment if you book directly with us. For payment using health plans or 3rd party-payers, you will need to contact these parties directly to secure authorization of the trips and many of them may require you to book directly through them.
How far in advance should I schedule?
Most Takoma Park medical trips cross into Silver Spring, Hyattsville, or Washington DC and involve Capital Beltway traffic, so booking 24 to 48 hours ahead lets us plan routing around peak congestion. Same-day rides within Takoma Park often work when a van is already nearby.
What if I need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?
Flag it during booking and we'll line one up. Our accessible vans carry proper ramps and secure tie-down systems, and we handle manual wheelchairs, power chairs, and mobility scooters without any extra arrangement on your side. We match the correct vehicle to your trip before dispatch.
Can a family member or caregiver ride with me?
Yes — a loved one or caregiver can almost always ride along at no added cost. Just flag the second passenger when you book so the driver reserves a seat and knows to expect two of you at pickup.

What is NEMT?
NEMT — short for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation — is a professional ride service for people who need a safe way to reach care but have no reason to call an ambulance. It handles dialysis, specialist consults, discharges, and follow-up visits.
The typical rider is an older adult who has stopped driving, a neighbor living with a long-term diagnosis, or an adult with a disability. Vehicles get paired to each person — wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps and tie-downs, stretcher transport for riders who must stay flat, and standard cars with drivers trained in hands-on walking support.
Plenty of NEMT trips repeat on a rhythm — three dialysis mornings a week, weekly infusions, a standing therapy hour — while others land on the calendar just once, like a ride home from outpatient surgery. The goal is the same: help riders show up for the care that keeps them healthy.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every Takoma Park trip runs on Duet (https://www.duetinc.com/), a leading NEMT software platform that pairs live GPS tracking with dependable pickup windows and keeps riders, families, and drivers connected from booking to drop-off.
More Than a Ride
A ride with us carries more than a rider. It carries a family's trust in the safety of someone they love — a mother who raised them, a partner of decades, a dear neighbor. We treat that trust as the job itself. Every detail, from the first phone call to the last careful step inside, is built to honor it.
