Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Avondale Estates, GA
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Avondale Estates is a close-knit community of about 3,500 people, but nearly every healthcare facility its residents depend on sits outside the city limits. From Emory Decatur Hospital just two miles west on US-278 to Emory University Hospital on Clifton Road in Atlanta, getting to the right appointment on time means navigating busy corridors through DeKalb County. We provide professional, door-to-door medical transportation for dialysis sessions at DaVita Eastlake Dialysis, specialist visits across the Emory Healthcare network, hospital trips, and the everyday rides that keep life on track — like getting to the Avondale Community Club on Lakeshore Drive or shopping at DeKalb Farmers Market.
Every ride begins at your front door. Our drivers greet you, help you to the vehicle, and make sure you're settled before heading out. When your appointment wraps up, they're waiting to bring you home. It's the kind of care you'd arrange for your own parent — attentive, dependable, and rooted in the understanding that the person riding with us is someone's whole world.

Testimonials
My discharge got delayed by two hours and they adjusted without any hassle. The driver waited patiently and helped me with my bags. That kind of flexibility means everything when you're already having a tough day.
– Patricia D.
Three times a week, every week, rain or shine. That's the schedule my husband needs for his treatments, and that's exactly what they deliver. Dependable is an understatement.
– Cynthia L.
I've been in a power wheelchair for years and most transport services make me feel like an inconvenience. Not these folks. The driver treated me with dignity and made sure my chair was positioned exactly how I wanted it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
Reach us at 877-369-5457 or hit the "Book a Ride" button on our website to get started. For non-urgent appointments, booking a day or two ahead is ideal, though same-day rides can often be arranged when a vehicle is available 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 my ride?
We suggest scheduling 24-48 hours ahead. Since nearly all medical facilities sit outside Avondale Estates — in Decatur, Atlanta, or Lithonia — building in extra time helps, especially when US-278 and I-285 traffic is heavy. For recurring treatments like dialysis, we create a standing schedule so every ride is already confirmed.
Do your vehicles accommodate wheelchairs?
Absolutely. Our fleet features wheelchair-accessible vans equipped with ramps and tie-down systems built for manual wheelchairs, power chairs, and scooters. Mention your needs when booking and we'll make sure the right vehicle is reserved for you.
Can a family member ride along?
Yes — we encourage it. A family member or caregiver can ride along at no additional charge in most situations. Let us know at the time of booking so your driver can plan accordingly.

What is NEMT?
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, or NEMT, is a professional ride service designed for people who need a safe, reliable way to reach medical appointments but don't require an ambulance. It covers everything from dialysis sessions to hospital discharges to routine follow-up visits.
NEMT serves seniors who no longer drive, individuals with disabilities, and people managing health conditions that make operating a vehicle difficult. The vehicles include wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps and secure tie-downs, stretcher transport for those who can't sit upright, and standard cars with drivers trained to provide hands-on walking assistance.
Common NEMT trips include recurring appointments like dialysis three times a week, radiation therapy, and physical rehabilitation, as well as one-time rides after outpatient surgery or a hospital discharge. The goal is straightforward: help people reach the care they need so they can stay healthier and live independently.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every ride is powered by Duet, a trusted NEMT software platform that delivers real-time vehicle tracking, dependable scheduling, and direct communication between you and your driver from the moment you book until you're home.
More Than a Ride
Behind every ride is a person someone loves — and that shapes everything we do. From the moment you reach out to the moment your family member is back home, our focus stays on one thing: making sure the people we serve, and the families trusting us with them, feel completely taken care of.
