For more info see Info Center
Care Ambulance Service has provided emergency and non-emergency ambulance service to Orange County and Los Angeles County for over thirty nine years as a family-owned and operated business.
Established in 1969 by Carl Richardson, Care Ambulance began as a small one-ambulance operation. Dan and Rick Richardson began working for their father as EMT's and working throught the ranks, became co-owners of the company in the early 1980's. Care Ambulance has since evolved to become one of the largest providers of quality ambulance service in Orange and Los Angeles Counties. This success is attributed to the founding principle that quality service is the foundation of a successful business.
While Care Ambulance provides 911 emergency ambulance service to numerous cities in both Orange and Los Angeles County, we still base our success on our ability to serve the non-emergency ambulance transportation needs of the communities we serve. We pride ourselves on designing our service around the needs of the customer. Whether an acute care facility, sub-acute facility, or skilled nursing facility, we strive to provide the service you need when you need it.
At Care Ambulance Service we consider ourselves to be your partner in providing solutions to all your ambulance transport needs. For more information about Care Ambulance or the services we provide, please contact Bob Barry, Marketing and Public Relations Manager at 714-288-3809.
AMBULANCE SERVICES
In February 1993, Care Ambulance applied for and was the first ambulance service in California and one of the first in the nation to receive national accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services. This accreditation for meeting the "Gold Standard of Excellence" was awarded after an exhaustive application process and on-site review by nationally recognized experts in emergency medical services.
The accreditation process looks at virtually every aspect of ambulance service operations. From operational standards to training and treatment protocols, every area is measured against the best practices in the industry. To ensure that a provider stays up to date with advances in technology and service standards, the accreditation process must be renewed every three years.
Care Ambulance Service has successfully undergone the renewal process four times, and is currently undergoing renewal for the fifth time in the fall of 2007.
The Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) is recognized by the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organziations (JCAHO). For more information about CAAS and what it does to improve ambulance service in your community, you can visit their website by clicking on the link above.
