Yes, state-to-state medical transportation can often be arranged for residents traveling from nursing homes, assisted living communities, rehabilitation centers, or other long-term care facilities. Transportation may be needed for relocation, specialized medical treatment, hospital transfers, or returning closer to family members.
Transportation providers coordinate with facility staff, caregivers, and family members to help ensure the passenger’s mobility needs and travel requirements are properly addressed. Depending on the patient’s condition, wheelchair transportation, stretcher transportation, or ambulatory transportation may be appropriate.
Early communication with the transportation provider helps ensure a smooth transition between care facilities or destinations.
