What is long distance hospice transport?
Long distance hospice transport moves a patient who is in hospice care from a hospital or facility to home, family, or the hospice facility that's expecting them (often hundreds of miles away) in a medical vehicle, bed to bed. A trained professional rides beside them the whole way, family rides along, and the trip is planned around their comfort, not the clock.
There is no siren and no rush. They travel in a real bed on a memory-foam mattress. Their medications stay on schedule and their oxygen is managed aboard. Two rotating drivers keep the vehicle moving smoothly while they rest, so the miles pass quietly.
You make one phone call. We handle the rest, at whatever pace your family needs.

families we've transported
“The crew and transport service was truly a blessing to us. They moved my very sick father from a facility in FL to our home in NC so he could come comfortably be with family while he's passing. They were so professional, efficient, timely and caring. Thank you thank you thank you!”
“My mother's husband passed away in October. She always said if he passed first she wanted to be back in Iowa. I don't know how else I would have gotten her back here. Being transported by MCC allowed me to just spend the time with my mom and not worry about details. The crew were all so kind and…”
“The Medlink crew was great. They transported my mom and dad 6 hours to their home so my dad could receive Hospice. The guys made a terrible situation better by taking such good care of my parents on the trip. The entire experience from initial contact to safe delivery of my parents was professional…”
“I can't say enough how wonderful this experience was for both my ill husband and myself. From the time I called the company and spoke to Maria to the time the crew showed up on time to the Hospice House to transport my husband home. It was a 20 hour ride from Sarasota Florida to Albany NY. My…”
“Everyone was great from start to finish and the time it took for transport absolutely exceeded my expectations. Thank you for getting my sister home so I could embrace her in her last days here with me!”
“One year ago, my mother was trapped in a horrible nursing home in the height of COVID in another state. ACC Medlink provided us an option to get her home in time for her to pass peacefully with family. They went above and beyond expectations. The staff that dropped her off knew more about her…”
Home, for the time that's left
You already know what the doctors have said. We won't dwell on it. You don't need us to explain what you're carrying. What we can tell you is what thousands of families have decided in the same moment: that the time that's left should happen at home.
Home is his own bedroom, with the window where the light comes in. It's the people he loves able to simply walk in and sit down: grandchildren, neighbors, the dog on the bed. It's his own hospice team nearby, and family close enough to be there in minutes instead of flights.
The distance is usually the only thing standing in the way. That's the part we take off your shoulders. However far home is (another state, another coast) we cover any of the 48 lower states, and the trip itself becomes something gentle rather than something to survive.
Comfort, in specifics
Comfort isn't a promise on this page. It's equipment and people. Here is exactly what surrounds them for the whole ride:
- A real bed with a memory-foam mattressnot a stretcher rack, not a reclined seat.
- Medications kept on their scheduleand oxygen managed aboard by a trained medical professional.
- Family rides along with a seat and a bed beside the patientholding their hand the whole way, if you like.
- Two rotating driversso the ride stays smooth and unhurried, even overnight.
- Climate, lighting, and stops adjusted to themthe schedule bends to how they're doing.
- Fully licensedwith over ten million patient miles since 2010.
“These three crew members do it right. They picked my Dad up on time and arrived safely and on time to the destination 300 miles away.”
Quiet competence is most of what compassion looks like on the road.
We work with the hospice team at both ends
A hospice trip has two teams: the one caring for them now, and the one who will care for them at home. Our coordinator talks directly to both. We work with the discharge planner where they are (records, medication orders, oxygen, timing) and with the receiving hospice team at home, so care picks up the moment they arrive.
There is one piece of homework on your side: enrolling them with the receiving hospice before travel, so that team is ready when they get there. If you haven't started that yet, don't worry. We do this every week, and we'll walk you through it step by step on the first call.
Everything else (the paperwork between facilities, the lifting at both ends, the handoff into their own bed) is ours.
