For Baileys Crossroads residents, medical transportation may involve a short local trip
or a longer ride across Northern Virginia. The transportation arrangement should fit the passenger,
the destination and the amount of support needed before, during and after the appointment.
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation
Non-emergency medical transportation can be used for scheduled doctor appointments,
rehabilitation, imaging, outpatient care, hospital visits and other healthcare trips
when an emergency ambulance is not required.
Private Medical Transport
Private medical transport allows a passenger or family to arrange a scheduled trip directly with UniqueHands.
Pickup location, medical destination, passenger mobility, access and return needs are reviewed before transportation is confirmed.
Long Distance Transportation
Long distance transportation may be appropriate when the healthcare destination is outside
the immediate Falls Church, Arlington or Alexandria area.
Longer trips should be planned around mobility, trip duration, destination access and return arrangements.
Transportation for Seniors
Older adults may need scheduled transportation for primary care, specialists, imaging,
rehabilitation, recurring treatment or hospital follow-up.
Family members and caregivers can provide trip details when coordinating the ride.
Wheelchair-Accessible Transportation
Wheelchair transportation may be appropriate for passengers who use a wheelchair
and need a wheelchair-accessible transportation arrangement.
UniqueHands uses ADA-compliant accessible transportation vehicles.
Hospital Discharge Transportation
After the healthcare facility determines that the passenger is ready for discharge,
transportation should reflect current mobility, wheelchair or stretcher needs
and access at the Baileys Crossroads destination.
