Where we go

The places we drive to every week

Most of our trips end at one of a few dozen addresses. These are the ones we run most.

Home base Lexington

Most standing routes 02 of 06

Dialysis centers Our clinics spread across the city, and dialysis riders are the majority of our standing schedules. If you tell us your center we almost certainly already run there.

Share of our week Highest How often Three times a week

Next destination

Tell us the name of your clinic and we will tell you straight away whether we already run there. Most of the time the answer is yes.

The honest comparison

You have other options. Here is the honest comparison.

In a city this size, you could call a rideshare, use a hospital shuttle, or go through a broker. All three work for somebody. Here is when they do not.

Where it works Where it breaks

Fine if you are walking to a routine appointment and coming home under your own steam. It falls apart if you use a wheelchair, if you have been sedated, or if you need somebody to walk you in. Most importantly, a discharge nurse will not release a sedated patient to one.

Worth using when it covers your trip. The limits are the schedule and the route. It runs when it runs, it goes where it goes, and it will not take you home from a different clinic across town.

Covered by some insurance plans, which is a real advantage. The tradeoff is that the ride is subcontracted to whichever driver takes it. Families call us most often after a brokered ride did not show, and dialysis patients call us most often after it happened twice.

Private pay is the honest downside. What you get for it is that the same small team dispatches, drives, and answers the phone. We know your name, we come to the door, and if we cannot cover something we tell you rather than leaving you waiting.

If a shuttle covers your trip, take the shuttle. We would rather tell you that than take a booking you did not need.

He made the entire transport seamless, safe, and stress-free, showing compassion and genuine care for both of us. It was clear that he truly loves what he does. We are so thankful for Andy and the wonderful care he provided. Highly recommend!

Nicholasville questions

Questions from Nicholasville riders

The ones that come up specifically from people booking in Jessamine County.

Still deciding Describe the trip and we will quote it Tell us the check in time and whether you use a wheelchair. We will give you the pickup time and quote both legs on the same call.

Call 859-347-7473 See all frequently asked questions

It depends on the hour more than the distance. Tell us the check in time and we will tell you the pickup time when you book, so you are not finding out the night before. Morning appointments need more margin than the map suggests.

Yes, and we plan Wilmore pickups as their own trip rather than folding them into a Nicholasville route. If you are at one of the Wilmore communities, tell us which one and we will coordinate with the front desk.

Rates account for distance, so a Nicholasville trip is priced differently than a trip across Lexington. There is no separate out of area penalty on top of that. Tell us where you are going and we will quote you before you book.

No. Ohana is private pay and we accept cash, check, and card. We are not a Medicaid broker. If you qualify for brokered transportation through your plan, that may cost you less, and it is worth asking about.

Yes. Gravel drives and long approaches are normal here. We ask about the approach when you book so the driver arrives knowing what to expect rather than working it out in your driveway.

Yes, and we would rather book both legs at once. On a Nicholasville trip the return is the part that goes wrong most often, so we ask about it when you book rather than leaving you to call from a waiting room.
