Outpatient
Non-Medical Transportation
We’re with you every step of the way—pickup, waiting room support, safe ride home, and optional post-procedure care.
Choosing the Right Support for You
When you’re scheduling an outpatient procedure, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is who will help you get there and back safely. For some people, a simple ride may be enough. For others, having a trusted, caring companion makes all the difference.
At Caring Companions, we want you to choose the best solution for your needs.
The Reality: Not All Transportation Is the Same
Many people assume they can just call an Uber or taxi and list the driver as their “responsible adult.”
Unfortunately, most clinics won’t accept that — and may cancel your appointment if you arrive without a named support person who can be contacted during your procedure.
Even after anesthesia, taxis and rideshares are not recommended. These services typically drop you off at the curb. They cannot escort you to your door, help you get settled, pick up prescriptions, or stay with you while you recover from sedation.
For people who need more than just a ride, that approach simply isn’t safe.
When we are the better choice...
A non-medical transportation and companionship service is often the right solution when you need:
This is where Caring Companions provides the peace of mind that rideshares simply can’t.
Someone to sign in as your responsible adult
A trusted person to wait in the waiting room during the procedure
Safe and supportive transportation all the way to your door
Help picking up prescriptions or getting you comfortably settled at home
A few hours or even 24 hours of attentive, reliable care afterward if needed
Someone you feel comfortable with while you’re recovering from sedation/anesthesia
This is where Caring Companions provides the peace of mind that rideshares simply can’t.
