Care Beyond Transportation

Patient Support Services

When a ride alone is not enough, arrange the extra support needed for appointments, surgery discharge, hospital pickup, or stairs.

A separate escort is not the driver.

When available, FedNor assigns another staff member to accompany or wait with the passenger. This is non-clinical support, and the permitted tasks depend on the medical facility's rules. It does not include nursing, medical supervision, medication management, or emergency care.

Separate Appointment Escort

When family cannot attend, request a FedNor staff member who is separate from your driver.

  • Accompanies or waits with the passenger when available
  • Duties confirmed around the facility's rules
  • Non-clinical support only

Ask the facility to approve the exact escort arrangement before booking.

Ride Home After Surgery

Plan the vehicle, escort, discharge pickup, and home arrival before your procedure day.

  • Aligned with written discharge instructions
  • Ambulatory, wheelchair, or stretcher options
  • Return timing or Will Call discussed in advance

A transportation booking does not automatically satisfy a responsible-adult requirement.

Before You Book

Tell us what the full journey requires.

Share the facility's escort instructions, mobility equipment, discharge location, stairs, likely appointment duration, and who will be present at home. We will identify what FedNor can provide and what must be arranged separately.

Non-emergency service only

If someone is in immediate danger or needs medical monitoring or treatment during transport, call 911 and follow the care team's instructions.
