Dream Care Rides provides licensed, non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) in Flossmoor, IL, just 5 min from our Olympia Fields headquarters. We offer ambulatory sedan transport, ADA-compliant wheelchair-accessible vans, and stretcher vehicles for patients who must travel lying down. Our CPR-certified drivers serve Franciscan Health Olympia Fields, Flossmoor Commons Medical Office, and 4 additional medical facilities throughout the Cook County area.
Flossmoor is literally within walking distance of Dream Care Rides' headquarters in Olympia Fields. This affluent south suburban village shares a border with Olympia Fields and sits directly adjacent to Franciscan Health. Our drivers travel through Flossmoor multiple times every day, making it one of the fastest-served communities in our entire network. For a village with a large aging-in-place population, having an NEMT provider three miles away is an irreplaceable advantage.
To book a medical ride from Flossmoor, call (708) 505-6994 or schedule online at dreamcarerides.com/booking. We accept private pay, Medicaid through most Illinois managed care organizations, and coordinate with discharge planners and case managers for facility-to-home and facility-to-facility transfers. Service is available seven days a week, including weekends and holidays, from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
Flossmoor is one of the south suburbs' most established residential communities, and its demographic trajectory tells a clear story about the need for non-emergency medical transportation. The village was built up primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, attracting young families who raised their children in its excellent school district and stayed. Those families are now in their 70s and 80s, and the concept of aging in place — remaining in one's own home rather than moving to assisted living — defines the Flossmoor community.
Aging in place works when the support infrastructure exists. For medical transportation, that means having a reliable way to get to Franciscan Health for cardiology appointments, to the oncologist at UChicago Medicine, or to three-times-weekly dialysis sessions without depending on family members who may work during the day or live hours away. Dream Care Rides fills this exact role for Flossmoor's aging-in-place population.
The village's residential layout is ideal for NEMT operations. Wide, quiet streets with minimal traffic allow our drivers to navigate efficiently. Most homes are single-story ranch or split-level designs with driveways and ground-level entries, making ambulatory and wheelchair boarding straightforward. There are no narrow city alleys or crowded parking situations that complicate pickups in dense urban areas.
Flossmoor's proximity to our Olympia Fields headquarters — just 3 miles and 5 minutes — means response times are among the fastest in our entire service area. For a senior living alone in Flossmoor who needs to get to a morning doctor appointment at Franciscan Health, knowing that a reliable driver will be at their door at the scheduled time, every time, is not a luxury. It is the difference between maintaining independence and being forced to give up the home they have lived in for decades.
The Flossmoor-Olympia Fields-Homewood triangle is our most densely served corridor. Our vehicles pass through this area continuously throughout the day, meaning there is almost always a driver within minutes of any Flossmoor address. For families of aging Flossmoor residents who worry about their parent's ability to get to medical appointments safely, Dream Care Rides provides the peace of mind that comes from having a professional NEMT service headquartered in the neighborhood. Call (708) 505-6994 to discuss a transportation plan for your family member.
