Medical Escort & Transport Services

Given the cost, commute, time spent and discomfort of a doctor’s visit, many of us are often tempted to go against advice and skip medical appointments, be it for chronic disease management follow-ups or preventive health screening.

For seniors and those with mobility constraints, travelling to and fro hospitals or clinics and home can be difficult. Long wait times often make a simple follow-up consultation last an entire day.

In many cases, a family caregiver is the one who accompanies the care recipient to the hospital or clinic. However, they may not always be available, due to time constraints or strained family relationships.

For seniors whose primary caregiver are their spouses, additional care support may be required due to their own health conditions and physical constraints, especially if the care recipient needs to be manually transferred from their bed to a wheelchair and then to the vehicle.

However, not going for follow-up consultations, medical appointments, treatment and health screening can lead to further health complications. Often, patients who skip these appointments often end up back in the hospital with more serious and more costly health concerns.

Even those who do follow through with appointments may end up discarding the medication, consume the wrong dosage or mix them up, especially if there are many different medications to take. This can be dangerous due to potentially harmful drug interaction.

To ensure that care recipients follow through with their medical appointments, it can be helpful to have a trained professional step in and support.

With a steadily greying population in Singapore, the need for medical escorts is on the rise. They play a pivotal role in ensuring individuals and seniors follow through with their appointments and medication.

From accompanying them to and fro home, medical appointments, treatment facilities and/or important functions, medical escorts also take care of everything in between – from toileting and personal care to accurately relaying doctor’s advise and medication collection. A trained medical escort will keep your loved one safe and sound every step of the way.

Have peace of mind when you engage a medical escort to accompany your loved one for their medical appointment and treatment, and help them enjoy an improved quality of life free from health complications.
