Wheelchair-Accessible Rides for Safe & Comfortable Post Surgery Transportation
Recovering from surgery can be challenging, and having to arrange transportation for yourself can add even more stress you don’t need. Finding reliable post surgery transportation that’s also wheelchair-accessible may be very challenging for patients with limited mobility.
Millions of Americans undergo surgery every year. The American Hospital Association (AHA) states that nearly 34 million people get hospitalized annually, many needing post surgery transportation assistance. Furthermore, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) reports that 11.9 million surgeries are performed annually in outpatient settings, highlighting the significant need for safe non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) transportation services.
Thankfully, BriteLift, Chicagoland & Southeast Wisconsin’s top transportation broker, is here to help.
We offer specialized post surgery transportation services for comfort, accessibility, and safety. Our wheelchair-accessible services ensure a smooth transition from hospital to home or your next appointment. As many patients know, reliable transportation is a significant concern after surgery, and BriteLift provides the solution.
Why Post Surgery Transportation Matters
For patients recovering from surgery, safe and reliable transportation is critical. BriteLift understands the unique needs of post surgery patients, from safe transfers to smooth, comfortable rides that prioritize safety.
Residual anesthesia and pain medications can make driving unsafe for patients. And loved ones may not always be available or have the necessary resources to drive and support them. BriteLift is always ready to assist patients with mobility challenges, whether it’s help getting in and out of the ride or managing through hospital doorways straight to your front doorstep. We prioritize safety and comfort, reducing the risk of complications.
With BriteLift, families can focus on what matters most: being there for their loved ones during recovery. Let us take care of the logistics, so you can focus on healing.
