Patients with their own wheelchairs can be secured into the vehicle and alternatively we also have chairs on the ambulances.
All staff have experience and are trained to support patients with Dementia, Alzheimer’s and other mental health issues.
Personable and Comfortable Journeys
Priding themselves on a personable service ensuring patients have a comfortable experience when using EMA’s Care Home transport services.
Ambulance crews wait with patients whilst attending their appointments to ensure they are collected in a timely manner, returning to care homes or other destination as soon as they are ready. There are no long and unnecessary waiting times for ambulances to collect patients which can sometimes be the case with other private ambulance and NHS patient transport services. Waiting times can be detrimental to a patients health, so a private patient transport service may be the best option.
Open Communication With Patients and Families
Having regular and open dialogue with the care home, residents and their families provides the opportunity to gather any and all relevant information about the patient, their needs and assess any potential problems. EMA have 5 star reviews for our Care Home transport services for a reason. Equally, the team is always on hand to answer questions and make sure everyone is fully aware of how they can help and what service is required to be provided.
Special Requests and Days Out
If you are stuck indoors, perhaps bed bound or immobile, getting out can be difficult. EMA also do special occasion trips where residents would need medical or physical assistance and mobility help, and wouldn’t normally be able to attend these occasions for medical reasons. This could be to Weddings, Funerals, or any sort of engagement they wanted to go to. Even if a resident wants to go the seaside or park for the day, get some fish and chips and visit with friends, that can be arranged for you.
The team are also able to accommodate more unusual requests. For example, during one palliative transport booking, we were delighted to be able to work together with the Macmillan Unit at Christchurch Hospital to take a patient to Bournemouth Pier and beach. This place held many important memories for her, and that she wished to visit one final time. Read about our patients journey in the Bournemouth Echo.
Having a specialist team is essential to provide a care home transport service that maintains residents safety and security whilst delivering a professional, tailored personal service and making sure they are comfortable whilst in EMA’s care.
