Roanoke Medical Transportation: Straight Answers
Does Presence NEMT serve Roanoke?
Yes, and Roanoke is one of the closest cities to our local dispatch base.
Pickups along Highway 377, Byron Nelson Boulevard, Oak Street, Cleveland-Gibbs Road and out toward Justin, Trophy Club and Northlake are part of our regular schedule.
Can a Roanoke rider go north to Denton instead of south to Fort Worth?
Yes. We handle trips in both directions across the Tarrant-Denton county line.
Some Roanoke families use Fort Worth and Alliance-area providers; others travel north toward Denton or east toward Southlake and Grapevine. All three are ordinary trips for us.
Is this an ambulance service?
No. Presence NEMT is non-emergency medical transportation only.
Call 911 in an emergency. We transport riders who are medically stable and need safe, appropriate transportation to and from care.
Medical Transportation at the Denton County Line
Roanoke sits right where Tarrant County meets Denton County, with Highway 377 running through the middle of town, Highway 114 and I-35W close by, and the Alliance corridor a few minutes south. That position is genuinely useful for medical transportation: a Roanoke rider can reach Fort Worth, Denton, Southlake or Grapevine care within a reasonable drive, but the direction of travel changes from family to family.
Presence NEMT is nurse-owned and dispatched locally from nearby Haslet, so Roanoke pickups are close to home for us rather than the far edge of a metroplex-wide map. That proximity is the main reason short-notice Roanoke requests are often easier for us to accommodate.

Two Directions of Care, One Schedule
Because Roanoke straddles a county line, a single household sometimes uses providers on both sides of it: a primary physician nearby, a specialist in Fort Worth, an infusion schedule in Southlake or Grapevine. We do not treat those as unrelated bookings. Dispatch keeps the pattern in view, plans around Highway 377 and I-35W congestion, and keeps the recurring trips consistent.
For a rider whose care is farther out, we also coordinate longer regional trips. Those are planned in advance rather than dispatched on short notice, because distance changes what a safe trip looks like.
Scheduling, Waits and the Return Trip
We plan the ride home before the rider leaves. When appointment length is predictable, the return is scheduled. When it is not, we set up a will-call return so the rider or the clinic front desk can reach dispatch when the visit actually ends. For short appointments, a driver can wait on site.
Dispatch is staffed 24 hours a day by phone or text. Recurring riders keep a standing weekly pattern instead of rebooking each week. Availability for a specific date and time is confirmed by dispatch rather than promised in advance.
For Facilities, Case Managers and Coordinators
If you are arranging a Roanoke trip on someone else's behalf, send the trip details in writing rather than describing them over the phone. Our coordination form captures the pickup address, destination, mobility level, appointment time and return-trip status in one pass, and dispatch follows up to confirm what we can cover.
Companion, CNA, MA or Nurse escort support can be requested for riders who should not navigate an outing alone. It is arranged on request for an additional fee rather than included in every trip.
