About ambulatory rides in Coronado
Ambulatory medical transportation is the right fit for patients who are mobile enough to walk with or without a light assist but still need safe, professional transportation to and from a medical appointment. That could be a senior going to a cardiology follow-up, a parent returning to a post-op check after outpatient surgery, or a dialysis patient who walks to and from the chair. Our ambulatory fleet includes clean sedans and low-step vans, both driven by professionals trained in first aid, CPR, and respectful patient support.
Coronado (serving zip codes 92118) is a core coverage area for DayLight. Coronado is a quiet island city across the bay with a long-time senior population and active military families. DayLight crosses the Coronado Bridge for wheelchair, ambulatory, and gurney transportation — to Sharp Coronado Hospital, Naval Medical Center San Diego, and specialists across the bay in Hillcrest and La Jolla.
We partner with families, case managers, and facility staff to keep ambulatory rides simple and reliable. Drivers arrive at the confirmed pickup window, help the rider into the vehicle (and with any walker, cane, or small oxygen unit), and maintain a calm, unrushed pace. When a rider’s mobility changes between trips, we will suggest the right service level - wheelchair, ambulatory, or gurney - without upselling.

How it works
- Book your appointment time. Share pickup, drop-off, and any mobility aids you bring along.
- Dispatch confirms the vehicle. Sedan or low-step van, whichever best fits the rider and route.
- Ride door to door. The driver meets you at the door and assists in and out of the vehicle as needed.
