Common discharge destinations

A discharge may return to a Port Moody home, a condo, a care setting, a rehabilitation appointment, or Crossroads Hospice. Some passengers may also need travel to or from a regional hospital such as Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. Give the full destination address rather than only Port Moody or New Westminster. Include the floor, elevator, stairs, gate or driveway instructions, and a receiving contact who can answer the phone. A complete request prevents avoidable day-of confusion because the pickup, destination, timing, access, and handoff details can be considered together. Final price depends on the exact route, vehicle category, kilometres, timing, access, waiting, equipment, and return plan. Worked CAD/km figures are useful planning math, not a guaranteed final customer price. CAD 159 ambulette base includes 10 km + 8 extra km × CAD 2.50 = about CAD 179 before add-ons; discharge coordination may add about CAD 25. CAD 249 wheelchair-van base includes 10 km + 15 extra km × CAD 3.20 = about CAD 297 before add-ons; stairs or waiting can change the estimate. Canada requests ask for trip details first and do not request a card now. A ride is not final until vehicle fit, timing, pricing, availability, and booking details are confirmed. MedicalRide coordinates private-pay non-emergency medical transportation across Canada.

Local guide

What to know before booking in Port Moody

Port Moody discharge planning

Eagle Ridge Hospital at 475 Guildford Way is a common starting point for a Port Moody discharge. A discharge can go to a home, a care setting, outpatient rehabilitation, Crossroads Hospice, or a regional destination, and each needs a specific receiving and access plan.

Confirm the actual discharge window, unit, facility contact, passenger mobility, correct ride type, destination entrance, stairs or elevator, and the person who will receive the passenger. The practical decision is to match the route to the passenger's current needs, not to assume a previous trip or a facility name settles the vehicle choice.

Final price depends on the exact route, vehicle category, kilometres, timing, access, waiting, equipment, and return plan. Worked CAD/km figures are useful planning math, not a guaranteed final customer price. CAD 159 ambulette base includes 10 km + 8 extra km × CAD 2.50 = about CAD 179 before add-ons; discharge coordination may add about CAD 25. CAD 249 wheelchair-van base includes 10 km + 15 extra km × CAD 3.20 = about CAD 297 before add-ons; stairs or waiting can change the estimate.

Vehicle fit after discharge

The correct discharge vehicle follows the passenger's ability to walk, transfer, sit upright, or remain seated in a wheelchair. A non-emergency stretcher assessment may be needed when the passenger cannot sit upright; it is not an ambulance request.

Ask the care team what mobility and transfer instructions apply at release. Pass those instructions, equipment needs, and access details into the Canada request before any route is confirmed. A caregiver can submit the information, but should name someone who can answer a facility or day-of question if the plan changes.

Final price depends on the exact route, vehicle category, kilometres, timing, access, waiting, equipment, and return plan. Worked CAD/km figures are useful planning math, not a guaranteed final customer price. CAD 159 ambulette base includes 10 km + 8 extra km × CAD 2.50 = about CAD 179 before add-ons; discharge coordination may add about CAD 25.

Discharge CAD planning

An ambulette base is CAD 159 and includes 10 km, with additional distance at CAD 2.50 per km. Wheelchair-van planning begins at CAD 249 with 10 km included and CAD 3.20 per additional km. Discharge coordination is about CAD 25, same-day planning about CAD 95, and stairs can range from about CAD 45 to CAD 145 where applicable.

Waiting, after-hours, weekend, holiday, equipment, bed-to-bed help, and return structure can also change the final amount. These are CAD planning figures rather than a guaranteed discharge price. Use current care-team instructions and current entrance guidance; a general map pin or an old discharge estimate is not enough for a confirmed ride.

  • CAD/km examples are planning guidance; final details determine the price.

Timing changes and waiting

A facility may move the discharge time because of clinical care, medication, paperwork, a delayed receiving contact, or a destination change. A caregiver should not treat an estimated release time as final pickup instruction.

Provide a realistic window, the nurse or case-manager contact, and a plan for updates. If waiting is needed beyond the included 15 minutes, say so early; estimates can change based on the vehicle category and actual wait. The passenger's comfort, safety, access, and timing should drive the details shared for review.

Home and condo access

A short ride from Eagle Ridge Hospital can become more complex at the last metre: stairs, elevator availability, a long hallway, a steep driveway, a locked entrance, or no one available to receive the passenger can change the handoff.

List the destination floor, steps, elevator, equipment, caregiver, and safe entry instruction. Tell MedicalRide when a passenger must remain in a chair or needs a bed-to-bed assessment. The practical decision is to match the route to the passenger's current needs, not to assume a previous trip or a facility name settles the vehicle choice.

Rehabilitation and hospice handoffs

Eagle Ridge outpatient rehabilitation and Crossroads Hospice have different arrival needs from a home discharge. A rehabilitation visit may be scheduled around therapy; a hospice handoff follows the direction of the sending and receiving care teams.

Name the exact clinic or hospice entrance and the current contact. Confirm who is receiving the passenger, what time the facility expects them, and whether a return is needed. A complete request prevents avoidable day-of confusion because the pickup, destination, timing, access, and handoff details can be considered together.

Public transit and emergency limits

Public-transit options, including eligible HandyDART trips, can be useful for some stable trips but do not replace a timed discharge with a particular vehicle or indoor assistance plan. A discharge ride is not emergency transport.

Use a private non-emergency request when the route details need review, and call 911 if the passenger has emergency symptoms or requires medical monitoring. Do not assume an accessible vehicle means emergency care is available. A caregiver can submit the information, but should name someone who can answer a facility or day-of question if the plan changes.

After the handoff

A successful discharge plan includes a clear receiving person and a way to handle a late release or an appointment change. The passenger should not be left without an agreed destination entry plan or caregiver communication path.

Reconfirm the day-of contact, destination access, and actual release timing before travel. For an emergency or a change that requires medical response, call 911 or follow the facility's emergency guidance. The passenger's comfort, safety, access, and timing should drive the details shared for review.
