Focus on the appointment.
We’ll plan the ride.
A healthcare appointment can leave families juggling pickup times, mobility needs, and the ride home. Founded by two Registered Nurses, Merit Care brings those details into a self-pay transportation plan, so you can focus on care with pickup and return arrangements in place.

Why Merit Care exists
They saw the waiting.
They built a better plan.
The appointment was over. The transportation day wasn’t. Meshach and Rita saw how an unplanned ride home could leave patients waiting and families rearranging their day.
The ride belongs in the care plan.
Their answer was Merit Care Enterprises: healthcare transportation that considers pickup, mobility, appointment timing, and the return together. Share the details of your day, and Merit Care reviews the route and availability before confirming the arrangements.
Know what happens next.
Your request starts a review of the route, vehicle availability, and transportation needs. Once arrangements are confirmed, you have a plan for getting there and getting home, with updates coordinated through your designated contact.

What this means for your day
A ride that fits your care.
A day you can plan.
From the first request to the ride home, the plan accounts for the details that matter to you and the people coordinating your care.
Pickup arranged in advance
Share your appointment arrival time and route so Merit Care can review the pickup plan before the appointment day.
Mobility considered
Choose ambulatory or wheelchair transportation, then discuss assistance and any paid support-person option before the trip.
A return plan in place
Choose a scheduled return, planned waiting, or a call-when-ready request so the ride home is part of the arrangement.
Your coordinator kept informed
Designate a family member or care coordinator for transportation updates, so the person helping you plan knows what comes next.
