Wound Care Transportation on Long Island
DachiPlus provides recurring transportation to wound care clinics across Nassau and Suffolk Counties — diabetic wounds, post-surgical wounds, pressure ulcers, and vascular wound care. Medicaid and Medicare Advantage accepted. Call (516) 754-7777.
Wound care patients — typically those with diabetic foot wounds, post-surgical wounds, pressure ulcers, or vascular insufficiency wounds — require frequent outpatient clinic visits, often 1–3 times per week for weeks or months. The wound care process is ongoing and attendance is critical; missed visits delay healing and raise infection risk. DachiPlus provides standing-order recurring transportation to all major wound care centers across Long Island, with special attention to mobility limitations, dressing protection, and patient comfort during transfer.

How we run your trip
Three promises on every ride
Your return ride is never an afterthought
Round trips are booked as two confirmed legs: your return pickup is scheduled before we ever pick you up. Nobody gets stranded at the clinic waiting for a ride back.
Dispatch you can actually reach
Call or text (516) 754-7777 and a dispatcher answers, Monday through Saturday, 6 AM to 8 PM. Same line before, during, and after your trip; running late or plans changed, you'll always reach a person.
The price is set before you ride
Medicaid trips through MAS cost you $0. Private-pay rates come from a published rate card and are quoted upfront: estimate your fare before you even call.
