Why Dream Care Rides for Cicero
Cicero's density and proximity to Chicago hospitals make it a natural fit for NEMT. But many Cicero residents — particularly elderly and disabled patients — face barriers to reaching medical appointments just miles away. Public transit options require transfers and are not wheelchair accessible in many cases. Rideshare services lack wheelchair vehicles and medical-grade assistance. Dream Care Rides provides door-through-door service with trained drivers, wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and the reliability that medical appointments require. For Cicero patients traveling to Rush, MacNeal, or UChicago Medicine, we are the consistent, professional option.
