Wheelchair CAD/km estimates

Wheelchair pricing starts at CAD 249, includes 10 km, then adds CAD 3.20 per kilometre. A door-to-door ambulette starts at CAD 279 including 10 km, then CAD 3.45 per additional kilometre; assisted ambulette starts at CAD 319 including 10 km, then CAD 3.95 per additional kilometre. Choose the service description that matches the required help and confirm whether the chair travels occupied. For a 18 km wheelchair trip: CAD 249 base includes 10 km + 8 extra km × CAD 3.20 = CAD 274.60 before add-ons. If CAD 30 oxygen or powered mobility equipment applies, the planning total becomes CAD 304.60 before any other add-ons. For a 12 km chair trip with 1–3 stairs: CAD 249 + 2 × CAD 3.20 + CAD 45 stairs = CAD 300.40 before timing or wait charges. The schedule add-ons are same-day CAD 95, after-hours CAD 75, weekend CAD 65 and public holiday CAD 95. First 15 minutes of waiting are free, then wheelchair or ambulette wait time is CAD 60 per hour. These are planning calculations, not guaranteed final prices.

Plan the Parkland pickup and return

A common local request is a wheelchair trip from a Dauphin home to a scheduled outpatient test at DRHC, with a return pickup after the expected appointment window. For a resident of Grandview or Gilbert Plains, the route may be longer and the driveway or roadside meeting point needs to be described. A care-team-directed trip to Grandview is only appropriate if the patient has been told that their treatment has transitioned there; include the confirmed address and arrival instructions. For a patient in St. Paul’s PCH, state whether the destination is the relocated physiotherapy service or another appointment, and confirm which staff member will meet the passenger. Dauphin’s City Plan identifies PTH 5A/10A and PTH 20A and lists Main Street and other arterial streets as major connections. These are useful route references, but actual travel time depends on the address, weather, road work and pickup side. Provide a return address and best contact for each leg rather than assuming the passenger will know when the visit is over.

Local guide

What to know before booking in Dauphin

Start with the chair and transfer plan

Wheelchair transportation should be selected from the passenger’s travel position and access needs, not simply from a diagnosis. Explain whether the chair is manual or powered, whether the passenger will remain in it for the trip, approximate width and total height if known, and whether a transfer to a vehicle seat is possible. Include a scooter or oxygen equipment, an escort, and any help needed from the front door to the vehicle. In Dauphin, the destination entrance matters as much as the chair: Dauphin Regional Health Centre is at 625 3rd Street SW, but restoration work and temporary service locations make it important to check the current clinic or department directions. A home on a rural road may have gravel, snow, a slope or limited turning space. A standard curb pickup may be unsuitable if the passenger needs a ramp and securement. Give both the pickup and destination conditions before accepting a price so vehicle fit and assistance can be reviewed for the full route.

  • Manual or power chair; occupied or transfer-to-seat.
  • Chair width, equipment, escort and transfer help.
  • Steps, slope, snow and parking at both addresses.

Dauphin destinations and changing entrances

The central medical campus at 625 3rd Street SW includes Dauphin Regional Health Centre and adjacent Community Health Services. Prairie Mountain Health currently lists outpatient laboratory tests, X-ray, EKG, ultrasound, Holter monitoring and elective mobile CT at DRHC; use the entrance and check-in named in the specific appointment. St. Paul’s Personal Care Home at 703 Jackson Street is a separate address, and it currently hosts outpatient physiotherapy that was relocated there. Cancer-treatment appointments are transitioning to Grandview in stages for eligible patients, with care teams contacting each person directly. A wheelchair route to the wrong building can create an unsafe delay, so do not use an old hospital pin or assume that a community visit and hospital visit share an entrance. If the passenger needs help from the vehicle to a registration desk, say whether a caregiver is travelling and whether the requested ride includes hands-on assistance. A wheelchair ramp and securement do not automatically include door-to-desk or clinical transfer support.

  • Confirm the exact site from the appointment message.
  • Separate DRHC, Community Health Services and St. Paul’s PCH.
  • Do not assume every cancer visit is in Dauphin.

  • Discharge coordination CAD 25; bed-to-bed assistance CAD 150.

Check step-free access at both ends

Ask the passenger or caregiver to describe the whole path from the home to the vehicle and from the destination vehicle area to the appointment desk. Record each step, doorway width if it is a concern, handrail, threshold, elevator and the amount of help needed. A level driveway at home does not ensure that the destination entrance is open or step-free. At DRHC, confirm the department entrance in the appointment information; at Grandview, use the current care-team directions; at a personal care home, specify the resident or therapy entrance. If the pickup is outside Dauphin, explain whether the vehicle can reach a sheltered door or must meet at a cleared road edge. In winter, mention snowbanks, ice, slope and how far the passenger can travel outdoors. Do not assume the driver can carry a person or lift a chair. A caregiver can often make arrival smoother by meeting the vehicle, carrying appointment papers and confirming a return pickup. These details can change both vehicle suitability and the price.

  • Count steps at both addresses and describe railings.
  • Confirm elevator and accessible entrance availability.
  • Identify a sheltered meeting point for poor weather.

Compare private ride and local community transport

Manitoba 211 lists the Dauphin and District Handi-Van Association for mobility transportation within Dauphin and out-of-town medical appointments. Its public listing asks for at least 24 hours’ advance booking in town and prefers two to three days for out-of-town trips. Contact the association directly about eligibility, chair dimensions, service hours, route and whether a particular temporary destination is served. A private-pay request may suit a trip that needs a different assistance level, a particular arrival time or a coordinated return plan, but it also requires an independent transportation provider to confirm the vehicle and schedule. If the appointment is recurring, compare the full week’s cost, timing and recovery needs instead of planning one trip at a time. For a temporary Grandview cancer visit or relocated dialysis site, confirm that the option you select can reach the exact current address. The public Handi-Van listing is not a guarantee of capacity, and a private request is not a confirmed ride until the quote and pickup are accepted.

  • Handi-Van: ask directly about eligibility and lead time.
  • Private-pay ride: confirm price and arrival window before accepting.
  • Match the vehicle to the actual chair and assistance required.

Prepare the request and safety boundary

For a complete wheelchair request, share pickup and drop-off addresses, the appointment time, passenger phone number, chair type and size, transfer ability, stairs or elevator, escort, equipment, preferred arrival buffer and return plan. If an appointment is at DRHC, Grandview or another temporary site, confirm the address immediately before requesting. State whether a caregiver will meet the passenger and whether door-to-door assistance is requested. The Canada quote form does not ask for a card now; it collects trip details for a private-pay request. MedicalRide coordinates the request with independent transportation providers, and the ride is final only after a provider confirms fit, schedule and price. No insurance, Manitoba Health or public-program payment is assumed. Review the consent notice and share only details needed to plan the trip. Wheelchair transportation is for planned, non-emergency travel. If there is a sudden serious symptom, unsafe transfer or urgent change in condition, call the clinical team or 911 instead of waiting for a scheduled ride.

  • Share exact destination and current entrance instructions.
  • Include caregiver and return-trip contact details.
  • Call 911 for a medical emergency.

FAQ

Questions about Dauphin medical rides

What wheelchair details should I include for a Dauphin ride?
Share chair type, approximate width, occupied or transfer-to-seat travel, equipment, escort, steps, elevator and how much help is needed at both ends. Confirm the destination entrance and return plan.
Is wheelchair transportation available to Grandview for cancer treatment?
A care team is transitioning eligible patients to Grandview in stages. Use that destination only after your own team confirms the move and gives current arrival instructions; the ride still needs vehicle and schedule confirmation.
How is a wheelchair ride price estimated?
The planning base is CAD 249 for 10 km, then CAD 3.20 per extra km. Timing, equipment, stairs, waiting or discharge assistance can change the total. A final amount is confirmed for the route and needs.
Can Handi-Van take a wheelchair user to an appointment?
Manitoba 211 lists Dauphin and District Handi-Van for local mobility trips and out-of-town medical appointments. Contact it directly to confirm eligibility, vehicle fit, lead time and whether it serves your destination.
Does the Canada form require a card?
No card is requested now. It is a private-pay quote request; the ride is final only after the independent transportation provider confirms the fit, timing and price.
