Preparing Your Home for an Easy Pickup

Ten minutes of setup at the house removes most of the friction from a medical trip.
Clear the path
Rugs, cords, planters and a narrow hallway are the three-foot obstacles that turn a two-minute exit into a ten-minute one. Clear the route from the rider's chair to the front door.
Light and lock
For early-morning pickups, leave the porch light on. Have keys, a gate code and any building access sorted before the driver arrives.
Tell us about the steps
Three front steps with no handrail is useful information. It changes nothing about whether we will do the trip and everything about how much time we allow for it.
