Medical transportation in Frankfort, IL is available through Dream Care Rides starting at $50–$60 (ambulatory), $60–$70 (wheelchair), or $350–$400 (stretcher) base per leg, plus mileage. Call (708) 505-6994 or book online for same-day and scheduled rides to Silver Cross Hospital, Riverside Healthcare Frankfort Campus, and 4 additional medical facilities, just 20 min from our Olympia Fields headquarters.
Frankfort is one of the Will County towns nearest our Olympia Fields headquarters, about 20 minutes west along Lincoln Highway (US-30). It has no hospital and no Metra station of its own, so a resident who stops driving depends on someone else for every appointment. Hospital care is split: Silver Cross in New Lenox to the west, Franciscan Health Olympia Fields to the east, with cancer infusions and therapy close by at Riverside's campus on LaGrange Road.
To book a medical ride from Frankfort, call (708) 505-6994 or schedule online at dreamcarerides.com/booking. We are primarily a private-pay provider. Medicaid accepted in select service areas — call (708) 505-6994 to check availability. We 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; after-hours pickups carry a fee shown before you book.
Frankfort, Twenty Minutes from Our Front Door
Most of our vehicles start the day at 20000 Governors Drive in Olympia Fields. Head west on Lincoln Highway and you are in Frankfort in about 20 minutes. That short run shapes how we can serve the village: a Frankfort pickup usually does not wait on a driver coming from another county, and a return ride after a long appointment is easier to adjust.
Frankfort's medical map is split in two. To the west is Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, with its trauma center, heart surgery, cancer pavilion and rehab unit. To the east is Franciscan Health Olympia Fields. Inside the village, the Riverside Healthcare campus on LaGrange Road covers primary care, chemotherapy and infusion, physical therapy and imaging, but has no emergency department. A Frankfort patient may use all three in the same month.
Getting there is the problem. Frankfort has no Metra station, and the village was built around the car. Homes in the newer subdivisions sit a long way from any bus route. The historic downtown near the Old Plank Road Trail is charming, but it will not get anyone to a cardiology appointment.
That is where we fit. Riders who have stopped driving, or who should not drive after a treatment, book a ride instead of waiting for a relative's day off. Adult children who live out of state can book online and see the confirmation. A driver who knows the way to each of Frankfort's regular destinations shows up at the door, helps the rider down the walk, and waits or returns when the appointment is over.
Local Insight
US-30 through downtown Frankfort slows during big village events and on summer evenings, and our drivers use side streets rather than sit in it. LaGrange Road near I-80 is the other choke point, so early appointments at the Riverside campus get a few extra minutes of padding.

How Does Dialysis Transportation Work in Frankfort?
We provide standing-order dialysis transport for patients in Frankfort. Call once, set up your recurring schedule, and your ride is automatically booked for every session. No need to call before each appointment — your driver will be at your door on time, every time.
Frankfort residents on dialysis are usually placed at a center toward Tinley Park, Mokena or the Olympia Fields area. We set the ride up as a standing order and send a driver from our base a few miles east, so we are rarely coming from far away.

Why Do Patients in Frankfort Choose Dream Care Rides?
Plenty of Frankfort residents have lived in the same house for decades and want to stay there. Staying put gets harder once driving stops, because nothing medical in Frankfort is walkable from most homes and there is no Metra line to fall back on. Our headquarters is on Governors Drive in Olympia Fields, roughly 10 miles away, which means a Frankfort pickup usually starts from nearby rather than from across the county. Drivers run the Frankfort trips regularly: chemotherapy and infusions at the Riverside campus on LaGrange Road, scans and surgery at Silver Cross, admissions and follow-ups at Franciscan Health Olympia Fields. For riders who use a walker or cane, the driver helps from the front door to the car. Wheelchair users ride in their own chair. Anyone who needs a lift or two people to transfer rides by stretcher with a two-person crew. The fare is visible when you book online, or call (708) 505-6994 and we will quote it.

Common Questions About NEMT in Frankfort, IL
How much is a wheelchair ride from Frankfort?+
A wheelchair ride from Frankfort is $60–$70 base plus $3.50 per mile after the first 3 miles, per one-way leg. Ambulatory rides are $50–$60 base + mileage, and stretcher rides $350–$400 base + mileage. Oxygen adds +$25 and a stair chair +$40. Enter both addresses on the booking form and it shows the total before you pay.
Do you have stretcher transport for Frankfort patients who are bedbound?+
Yes. A Frankfort patient who is bedbound, cannot bear weight, or needs two people to transfer rides on a stretcher. Two crew members come into the home or the hospital room, move the patient onto the gurney, and secure them for the drive. Tell us about narrow hallways or stairs so we bring the right equipment.
Can you take a Frankfort resident to Franciscan Health Olympia Fields?+
Yes. Franciscan Health Olympia Fields is east of Frankfort and close to our own office, so drivers are often nearby. We drop off at the main entrance, and for a discharge we coordinate with the unit so the pickup happens when the patient is actually released. To schedule from Frankfort, call (708) 505-6994.
Can I get standing rides to chemotherapy at Riverside's Frankfort campus?+
Yes. The Riverside Healthcare Frankfort Campus on LaGrange Road offers medical oncology, chemotherapy and infusion therapy, all of which run on a regular schedule. We book the full treatment calendar as a standing order, and if a session runs long the return leg waits for the call instead of leaving on a fixed clock.
Is private pay the only way to pay for a Frankfort ride?+
Frankfort rides are private pay: you see the full price up front and nothing is added after the trip. A hospital, rehab center or senior community can also book and pay for a resident's ride through a facility account. HSA and FSA cards can often be used for medical transportation; your plan administrator can confirm. Call (708) 505-6994.
Can someone pick me up in Frankfort after an early-morning procedure?+
Yes. Rides run seven days a week, including early procedure check-ins; a pickup outside regular hours carries a surcharge of +$50–$300 per leg. If you are sedated, the surgery center will not release you to a taxi or rideshare, so our driver meets you inside and brings you back to your Frankfort door.
