Having surgery or a medical procedure can be stressful. Many hospitals and surgical centers require that you have a responsible adult accompany you home after receiving anesthesia or sedation. If you don't have a family member or friend available, Care Remedy is here to help.

We provide professional surgery companions and medical transportation throughout the Greater Boston area, giving you peace of mind from the moment you leave your home until you return safely.

How Our Service Works

Before Your Procedure

Our professional driver will pick you up at your home and safely transport you to your scheduled procedure. We assist you with entering the facility, checking in, and making sure you are comfortably settled before your appointment.

During Your Procedure

Unlike a traditional transportation company, we don't simply drop you off and leave.

Your assigned companion remains available while you are in surgery or undergoing your procedure. We communicate with the hospital or surgical center staff and remain your designated contact while you are being treated.

When You're Ready

As soon as your clinical team notifies us that you are ready for discharge, we immediately dispatch your driver to the pickup area. This means you won't be left waiting outside after your procedure.

We coordinate directly with the hospital staff to make your discharge as smooth and stress-free as possible.

While you’re in surgery, we’ll be available to wait for you and communicate with the medical team on your behalf. We understand the importance of having a trusted person in the waiting room, ready to receive updates and provide you with peace of mind.Safe Ride Home

Our driver will:

• Escort you safely to the vehicle
• Assist with walkers or mobility devices if needed
• Ensure you arrive home safely
• Help you get inside your home if requested

If additional assistance is needed after you arrive home, Care Remedy can also provide companion care and in-home support.

How Care Remedy Stands Out

Care Remedy goes beyond providing basic companionship. Our caregivers are carefully matched with clients to ensure that they meet not only your practical needs but also your emotional needs. We understand that undergoing surgery or a procedure can make you feel vulnerable, and we aim to provide comfort, trust, and care that make the experience as smooth as possible.

• Experienced Caregivers: Our caregivers are trained professionals who know how to handle medical appointments with care and professionalism.
• Reliability: We ensure that you always have a trusted companion by your side, from the moment you leave home to when you return safely.
• Comprehensive Service: In addition to companionship, we offer non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT), caregiver support, and other essential services to ensure you’re fully cared for during this critical time.
