Hospital Discharge & Facility Transportation in Albany CA — Get Home Safely, Today

The hospital said your loved one can go home — but you still need a wheelchair-accessible ride, a trained driver, and someone who will help them inside. Call 510-432-6417 and we'll be there.

Licensed & Insured Same-Day Service Serving Albany Since 2011

A discharge is supposed to be good news. Instead it turns into a scramble — the hospital wants the bed back, the family is at work, and the person going home can't safely climb into a regular car. We answer fast, bring the right vehicle, and take them door-through-door so no one has to worry about the last mile.

Signs You Need Hospital Discharge & Facility Transportation

You need real facility transportation when a rider uses a wheelchair or walker, is unsteady after surgery or a long stay, has an oxygen tank, or is coming from a nursing home, assisted living, or group home where staff can't leave to drive them. If a taxi or app-based ride can't safely handle the transfer, that's your sign.

Waiting rarely helps. A delayed discharge means an extra night's charge and a bed that could go to someone else. A rushed family member driving after work means a stressful, unsafe transfer at the curb. And a fall on the front steps — the exact thing the hospital was trying to prevent — undoes days of care. A short call now lines up the right ride for the right time.

Our Hospital Discharge & Facility Transportation Options

We handle discharges, admissions, and transfers between every kind of care setting in the East Bay:

Coming out of the hospital? Our Hospital Discharge Transportation works around the case manager's timeline, meets the patient at the room or curb, and gets them home the same day with all their belongings and equipment.

For residents moving to or from skilled nursing, our Nursing Home Transportation service coordinates with the facility so pickup, paperwork, and any medical equipment are ready before we arrive.

Assisted Living Transportation handles daily and one-off trips for residents — appointments, family visits, and moves between communities — with drivers who know how to help someone in and out of a building safely.

Our Group Home Transportation supports staff by moving residents to medical, therapy, and day-program appointments on a reliable schedule, with the same driver whenever possible.

And for any other long-term care setting, Residential Facility Transportation covers transfers to and from board-and-care homes, memory care, and rehab facilities across Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

Hospital Discharge & Facility Transportation for Albany Families

East Bay hospitals — Alta Bates, Kaiser Oakland, Highland, Sutter Delta — all discharge patients who need to get to homes and facilities across Berkeley, Oakland, Albany, El Cerrito, Richmond, and beyond. Bay Area traffic on I-80 and I-580 turns a "quick ride home" into a two-hour ordeal if it isn't planned. We build extra time into every discharge run so the patient isn't stuck sitting in a wheelchair on a lobby floor.

Steep streets in Berkeley, Kensington, and Orinda make curb-to-curb useless for a lot of riders. We do door-through-door on every facility trip — that's the whole point.

We serve Albany, Antioch, Berkeley, Crockett, El Cerrito, Emeryville, Fremont, Hercules, Kensington, Lafayette and surrounding East Bay communities.

What to Expect

Call or submit a request and we'll confirm the pickup window, the vehicle type, and the price on the same call. Send us the discharge time from the case manager and we'll build our schedule around it.

On the day of the trip, our driver checks in at the desk, meets the patient at the room or curb, secures the wheelchair or seat, and stays with them until they're safely inside at the other end. Same-day requests are welcome during business hours.
