Someone to take you home after sedation.
Clinics cancel your colonoscopy if you arrive without a responsible adult, and a rideshare doesn’t count. Groggy sends one: they meet you at check-in, wait, sign you out, ride home and stay an hour.

A responsible adult for your sedated procedure, when you have nobody to ask.
Many clinics won’t discharge a sedated patient without a responsible adult, and plenty of people have nobody to ask. Groggy sends a trained escort from a licensed home-care partner: door to door, waiting in the lobby, signing you out and staying an hour at home. Agents handle clinic rules, prep reminders and timing.
- Step 01
Checks your clinic’s escort rules
Agents call clinics and keep a record of each one’s escort policy, so you know a hired escort will be accepted before you book.
- Step 02
Coaches your prep, books your escort
Prep reminders before the day, then an escort from a licensed home-care partner, timed to your check-in and rerouted if things run late.
- Step 03
Gets you home and checks in
Your escort signs your discharge, rides home with you and stays an hour. The next morning, we call to see how you are.

Prep coaching before the day
Plain reminders about prep, timing and what to bring, so your procedure isn’t cancelled at the door.
A check-in call after
A call the next morning to see how you are feeling now you’re home.
First up: a free checker that tells you whether your clinic accepts a hired escort, in one city to start.
The world just changed.
What changed, and where it was reported.
Outpatient standards (AAAHC) generally expect a responsible adult escort at discharge unless clinical reasons justify otherwise. The Joint Commission calls it ‘certainly prudent’.
SermoAn AARP estimate: 10% of US adults 50+ live alone with no living children, and another 11% are estranged from their children.
KFF Health NewsA Seattle health-system pilot found ‘lack of patient transportation or a chaperone’ a frequently cited barrier to colonoscopy.

Signs agency deals; ops lead on call
Escorts are aides employed by licensed non-medical home-care agencies, background-checked through a vendor. The owner signs the agency and clinic contracts and the liability insurance, and a human ops lead is on call during procedure hours.

Groggy escorts are companions, not medical staff, and they never give care or medicine. We keep only the details a booking needs and never hold medical records.
Will my clinic accept a hired escort?
Many do, and some refuse any hired escort. We check your clinic’s rule before you book, and if the answer is no, we tell you rather than send someone.
Who is the escort?
An aide employed by a licensed non-medical home-care agency we partner with, background-checked through a vendor. They are companions, not nurses.
What if something goes wrong on the way home?
A human ops lead is on call during procedure hours. Escorts work for licensed agencies, we carry liability insurance, and every incident is logged and reviewed.
