Medical Escort Services
Door-to-door rides, in-appointment support, and clear notes home. No one should have to navigate healthcare alone.
What is a Medical Escort?
A medical escort is a trained companion who accompanies clients to healthcare appointments and procedures.
Beyond the ride, our escorts provide a calm presence, help clients understand what the doctor said, and make sure care instructions are written down and followed.
For many seniors and people managing health challenges, getting to and from an appointment is its own obstacle. We remove that obstacle entirely.

When to Book a Medical Escort
Many families call after a long day of trying to manage it all themselves. The signals usually look like this:
- Family is taking too many days off work for appointments
- Your loved one comes home unable to remember what the doctor said
- A day surgery or procedure is scheduled and someone needs to be present
- Mobility makes getting in and out of cars or buildings difficult
- Hospital discharge is happening and the next 24 hours need a steady hand
- You live out of town and need eyes and ears at the appointment

Medical Escort: Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers about booking, pricing, and what to expect at the appointment.
What is a medical escort service?
A medical escort is a trained caregiver who accompanies your loved one to medical appointments, day surgery, or follow-up visits. The escort handles transportation, walks them in, stays through the appointment, takes notes, and makes sure they get home safely.
Is this just a ride-share, or something more?
It is much more than a ride. A medical escort stays through the entire appointment, helps the client communicate with the doctor, writes down instructions, and reports back to the family afterward. The transportation is included, but the value is the support around it.
When should I book a medical escort instead of asking family?
Book one when family cannot easily take time off work, when the appointment is long or complicated, when post-procedure care is needed, or when the client would benefit from someone trained in medical settings. It also gives family the confidence that important details are being captured.
What kinds of appointments do you escort to?
Family doctor and specialist visits, diagnostic imaging and lab tests, physiotherapy, dental and optometry, day surgery and outpatient procedures, mental health and counselling, chemotherapy and infusion treatments, and hospital admissions or discharges.
Do you provide the vehicle, or do you use the client's car?
Both options work. Caregivers can drive the client's vehicle or use a service vehicle, depending on what is most comfortable and what mobility equipment is needed. We confirm the arrangement before every appointment.
Can the escort take notes during the appointment?
Yes. Detailed notes are part of the service. Our escorts capture diagnoses, medication changes, follow-up appointments, and any next steps the doctor mentions, then share them with the family in writing afterward.
What does a medical escort cost?
Pricing is hourly with a minimum block to cover the round-trip and the appointment. Many extended health plans, ICBC, WorkSafeBC, and Veterans Affairs Canada cover medical escort services. We provide a clear quote before booking.
How far in advance do I need to book?
We recommend at least 48 hours ahead so the right caregiver can be matched. Same-day or next-day bookings are often possible for urgent appointments, including hospital discharges.
