Wheelchair Transportation in Leesburg, VA

Most wheelchair trips in Leesburg run between two parts of town. Historic downtown has the Inova Cornwall campus, DaVita Leesburg and two nursing centers. Lansdowne has Inova Loudoun Hospital and DaVita Lansdowne on Riverside Parkway. Our driver comes to the door, wheels the rider up a ramp or lift, secures the chair and takes them inside at the other end.

We pick up across Leesburg, Lansdowne, Purcellville and Hamilton. We hold WMATC authority 3449, which covers Loudoun County along with the District and the Maryland suburbs, so a Leesburg rider can reach a DC or Maryland appointment on one booking at the same rates. Wheelchair trips start at $55 per leg on a round trip. Dispatch answers around the clock at (703) 304-7889, or you can request a trip online. For stretcher and ambulatory service, see our Leesburg medical transportation page.

What our wheelchair service includes in Leesburg

Every trip is door-through-door. The driver comes to the door of the home, the apartment or the facility room, helps the rider out, and at the other end takes them inside to the check-in desk or the dialysis chair rather than leaving them at the curb.

  • The rider stays in the chair. The chair goes up a ramp on our minivans or a hydraulic lift on our full-size vans, is strapped to the floor at four points, and the rider wears a lap and shoulder belt. Nobody is lifted into a car seat.
  • Your chair or ours. We secure manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs and scooters. If the rider does not own a suitable chair, we bring one at no extra cost.
  • Trained, screened drivers. Drivers are trained in passenger assistance and wheelchair securement, and every employee passes a criminal background check and drug screening.
  • A companion seat. A family member or caregiver can usually ride along; tell us when you book.
  • Accredited. H&M Transport was the first NEMT provider in Virginia to earn NEMTAC accreditation, which audits driver training, securement procedure and vehicle standards.

Where we take wheelchair riders in Leesburg

Inova Loudoun Hospital at 44045 Riverside Parkway in Lansdowne is our busiest stop. Visitor parking is free in the North Garage and the North and South surface lots, and a door drop-off saves the walk from any of them. The hospital sits across the street from Lansdowne Woods.

Downtown, the Inova Loudoun Hospital Cornwall Campus at 224 Cornwall Street NW is a separate site with behavioral health, imaging and rehab services. Families sometimes say “Inova Loudoun” for either campus, so we confirm which one before the trip. Farther afield, StoneSprings Hospital Center lies south of Leesburg off Route 50 near South Riding, and Reston Hospital Center is roughly 25 to 35 minutes east via Route 7 or the Dulles Greenway.

Senior communities fill much of the schedule: Lansdowne Woods of Virginia and Ashleigh at Lansdowne, Heritage Hall on Morven Park Road and Loudoun Rehabilitation and Nursing Center on Old Waterford Road. East along Route 7 we serve Falcons Landing in Potomac Falls and Ashby Ponds in Ashburn.

Dialysis rides in Leesburg

We run standing wheelchair schedules for Leesburg, Lansdowne and western Loudoun riders, including to:

  • DaVita Leesburg Virginia Dialysis, 224D Cornwall St NW, Leesburg
  • DaVita Lansdowne Dialysis, 44084 Riverside Pkwy, Leesburg
  • Pure Life Renal of Lansdowne, 19490 Sandridge Way, Ste 140, Leesburg
  • Legacy Dialysis of Virginia, 211 Gibson St NW, Ste 209, Leesburg
  • DaVita Ashburn Dialysis, 19980 Highland Vista Dr, Ste 100, Ashburn

DaVita Leesburg sits on the Cornwall campus downtown, and DaVita Lansdowne is a short way down Riverside Parkway from the hospital. Give us the chair times once and a standing order keeps them on our books. DaVita Lansdowne also runs a late shift; pickups before 7 a.m. or after 6 p.m. carry the after-hours charge.

Wheelchair van or LC Transit and Loudoun’s volunteer programs?

Loudoun has more options than most counties, and several are free. LC Transit Paratransit is for residents who cannot use local buses because of a disability. It needs an approved application, is fare-free, and is booked one to five days ahead. It runs the same hours as local routes, from Leesburg to western Fairfax County; the county points Purcellville riders to Virginia Regional Transit for the Leesburg run.

LC Transit On Demand, still a pilot, is fare-free curb-to-curb service in minivans inside a Leesburg zone, with wheelchair options. Trips cannot leave the zone, so Lansdowne and Ashburn destinations outside it are out of reach. CareNET gives free medical rides to income-eligible residents without insurance transport, by case-manager referral 48 to 72 hours ahead. Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers runs Care-A-Van, door-through-door wheelchair-assisted rides five days a week for homebound older adults and adults with disabilities. The county’s Mobility Assistance Program (703-771-5665, option 2) helps families sort out which fits.

A private wheelchair van covers what those services are not built for: a same-day ride or discharge with three hours notice, weekends and evenings, an exact appointment time, and a trip anywhere in Loudoun, Fairfax, DC or the Maryland suburbs with no application.

Pickup tips for Leesburg homes and campuses

  • Lansdowne Woods has a gatehouse staffed around the clock. The driver stops there first; tell us the building and the entrance.
  • Two Inova Loudoun campuses. Riverside Parkway in Lansdowne and Cornwall Street downtown are different places. Name the campus and the department.
  • Large senior campuses such as Ashby Ponds and Falcons Landing have several buildings. Give us the building name for every pickup.
  • Roads. Route 7 and the Dulles Greenway both link Leesburg with Ashburn, and Route 15 north of town has widening work ahead. We build traffic and work zones into the pickup time.

Who pays for a wheelchair ride in Leesburg

Medicaid. If the rider is a Virginia Medicaid member and the trip is to a covered medical service, the ride should cost them nothing, and it is not booked directly with us. Call the transportation number on your Medicaid ID card; the brokers we work with are MTM Health and SafeRide Health. Request H&M Transport specifically when you book your ride. Plan ahead: Medicaid transportation generally needs several business days’ notice for routine appointments.

Medicare. Original Medicare does not cover a wheelchair van. Some Medicare Advantage plans include a limited transportation benefit, usually a set number of trips a year; if yours does, book through the plan and ask for H&M Transport by name.

Private pay and facilities. Families booking directly pay the published rates above, and the quote is what you pay. Hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and senior communities book on contracted rates; see our facilities page.

Booking, notice and cancellations

  • Same-day requests: call (703) 304-7889 and speak with dispatch.
  • Notice: we need a minimum of three hours notice for same-day requests and discharges. Booking 24 hours ahead guarantees availability.
  • Trip details: use the notes field for the entrance, the building or unit number, the appointment type, how long it should run, and the number of steps at the home.
  • Stairs: when a rider in a wheelchair has to go up or down steps, we send a stair chair team, which adds $75 each way.
  • Weight: for riders over 300 lbs, select bariatric service.
  • Changes and cancellations: cancel or change at least two hours before pickup to avoid a fee, by phone, by email at Reservations@hmtransport.com, or in our mobile app.

Wheelchair transportation in Leesburg: common questions

How much does wheelchair transportation cost in Leesburg?

A round trip is $55 per leg with five miles included each way, plus $3.00 per additional mile. A one-way trip is $90 plus $3.00 per mile. A round trip from Heritage Hall downtown to Inova Loudoun Hospital is about $116.

Does Virginia Medicaid pay for wheelchair rides with H&M Transport?

Yes, for covered medical trips. Call the transportation number on your Medicaid ID card; the brokers we work with are MTM Health and SafeRide Health. Request H&M Transport specifically when you book your ride.

Can you take a Leesburg rider into DC or Maryland?

Yes. We hold WMATC authority 3449, which covers trips between Loudoun County, the District and the Maryland suburbs, at the same rates.

How is this different from LC Transit paratransit or On Demand?

Paratransit needs an approved application and booking at least a day ahead, and On Demand is curb-to-curb inside its zone. We need no application, take same-day rides with three hours notice, and help the rider from inside the home.

Can the rider stay in their own wheelchair?

Yes. We secure manual and power wheelchairs and scooters at four points. If the rider does not have a suitable chair, we bring one.

Do you pick up at Lansdowne Woods?

Yes. The driver checks in at the gatehouse, which is staffed around the clock. Tell us the building and the entrance when you book.

What a wheelchair van is not

This is non-emergency transportation. There is no medical care or monitoring on board, we do not take anyone to an emergency room, and we do not move patients between hospitals for a higher level of care. Those are ambulance trips. If this is a medical emergency, call 911. If the rider cannot sit upright for the length of the trip, book stretcher transportation instead.
