I didn’t even have half of my first cup of coffee this morning when Skagit Regional Hospital called and asked if I could do a transport—and could I be there in 10–15 minutes?

“YES!” I told the nurse.

As she was hanging up, I could hear her say, “YESSSSS!” 😁

I had just enough time to throw on my work clothes, brush my hair and teeth, and boogie out the door. 🚐💨

Made it! Ten minutes later, I was in the patient’s room. Boom! 🙌

The nurse came in to thank me and say goodbye to her patient. I knew he was being transported to a local assisted living community and placed on hospice. We arrived with plenty of time for his hospice appointment.

I love it when all the coordinating comes together with perfect timing for the patient—my client. ❤️

From the medical staff and social workers to hospice, caregivers, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities—and transportation—it truly is a juggling act. But when everyone communicates, coordinates, and works together, it makes all the difference.

Go Team! 👏👏👏

This is why I love what I do.

Super Day at Super Bingo! 🎉

What a fun day at Super Bingo at Mira Vista Care Center in Mount Vernon! I had the pleasure of joining Donna Backman with Almost There Senior Care for a wonderful event filled with patients, staff, family members, visitors, and local professionals who serve our seniors and disabled community.

It was a great opportunity to connect with others who are dedicated to helping people live safely, comfortably, and independently—from home health and home care providers to assisted living, hospice care, and, of course, non-emergency medical transportation. 🚐💙

I always enjoy meeting new people, learning about the services they provide, and building relationships with others who share the same heart for serving our community.

A special thank you to Mira Vista Care Center for hosting such a great event and bringing everyone together. And thank you to everyone who came out and made Super Bingo such a SUPER day! 🥳

💙 It’s More Than Just a Ride 💙

Yesterday evening, I was in the middle of preparing tacos for dinner when I received a call from a local hospital emergency room.

They were having trouble finding transportation for an elderly lady who needed to get home.

I was told she was very frail, didn’t have her walker, needed a wheelchair, and would need assistance getting into her apartment.

“How soon can you be here?” they asked.

“Fifteen, twenty minutes.”

I flew out the door.

When I arrived, I could see just how much help she needed. She could barely stand, let alone walk, so I carefully assisted her into my wheelchair.

It was only a few miles to her home. But getting her safely inside was about much more than simply getting from Point A to Point B.

I wheeled her through the apartment complex, up the elevator, and into her apartment. The hallway was a little cluttered, making it impossible to get the wheelchair all the way to her bedroom.

So I retrieved her walker and helped her carefully stand. I stayed beside her as she made her way to the bedroom, where she told me she just wanted to sit down.

Before leaving, I asked:

“Is there anything else I can do for you?”

“Open the window,” she said.

“Of course. Anything else? Would you like me to help you take your shoes off?”

She hesitated, then accepted my help.

I put her purse away, organized her paperwork, cleared the clothing from her bed, and made sure she was comfortable.

Then I asked one more time:

“Anything else?”

“Well… could you help me lay down?”

“Of course.”

And I gently helped this sweet little lady get settled safely and comfortably in her bed.

That moment reminded me why I do what I do.

You see, it’s more than just a ride.

It’s about slowing down.
It’s about noticing what someone needs.
It’s about providing personal assistance when they need an extra hand.
It’s about making sure the person in your care feels safe, comfortable, respected and valued.

That’s the difference between simply providing transportation and providing personal care transportation.

At Way Maker Personal Care Transportation, I’m not just taking you somewhere.

I’m there to help you get there safely—and to care along the way.

🚐 NEMT IS MORE THAN JUST A RIDE

What Sets Way Maker Personal Care Transportation Apart from Uber & Lyft?

Uber & Lyft provide a ride. Way Maker provides a caring transportation experience.

Way Maker Personal Care Transportation is different. ❤️

We understand that for many people, getting to a medical appointment, therapy, procedure, or essential errand may require more than opening an app and getting into a car.

At Way Maker, We’re Driven to Serve Your Needs.

✔️ Personalized, compassionate service
✔️ Caregiver-minded transportation
✔️ Assistance getting to and from the vehicle when needed
✔️ Door-through-door assistance available based on individual needs
✔️ Patient, respectful, and dependable service
✔️ Transportation focused on comfort, dignity, and safety
✔️ A familiar caregiver driver—not just a driver passing through

With a rideshare, you’re primarily booking a ride.

With Way Maker Personal Care Transportation, we’re focused on the person taking the ride.

Because sometimes you don’t just need a driver.

You need someone who cares.

Turned out to be a busy day even after an early morning cancel because the clients surgery was rescheduled.
First run was a repeat client close to base, followed by a hospital discharge from Skagit Regional to Providence Hospital Everett. He was fun to listen to about being drafted into the military and served in the Army in Vietnam. He came back and joined Local 86 Ironworkers. My oldest son is an Ironworker out of Local 86, his dad was, his grandfather, and great-grandfather were Ironworkers. I love the stories!
I ran across the Admissions Administrator when trying to figure out from very vague instructions from the hospital where my client needed to check in. The administrator overheard us and called us into his office, asked my client how the transport was 😀 (I got a good review) I laughed that he was asking the client right in front of me. He then escorted us to the correct floor and to the admissions desk himself.
I just so happened 😉 😉 to have my cards and fliers on hand, officially introduced myself and handed him my materials and told him I have attempted to contact the social workers who arrange transportation. He smiled and said he would get my information to the proper people.
Oh, the van in front of mine hahaha is the company I used to work for. Small world!
From Everett I headed back to Skagit Regional for another hospital discharge and back to Marysville to an adult family home.
More military stories, dreams and goals from this gentleman.
I never know what the day may bring.
Sometimes I have scheduled rides and then an impromptu discharge transport calls in.
Productive day! I like it that way.
