Medical transportation in Sherborn, MA means prescheduled ground transport, without an ambulance, for patients who cannot use a car, a taxi, a rideshare, or a bus to reach an appointment. FedNor Transportation, LLC serves all of Sherborn, from the town center near the Sherborn Community Center to South Sherborn along Farm Road, dispatched from 945 Concord Street in Framingham. Sherborn has no public transit and largely rural roads, with homes often set far back on long driveways, so our drivers plan the approach before the vehicle ever leaves the yard. Call 781.552.4559, seven days a week from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Our Services
What Medical Transportation Services Does FedNor Offer in Sherborn?
FedNor operates six medical transportation service lines for Sherborn patients, and every one runs door through door. A long gravel driveway off Coolidge Street or Farm Road is not a curb, and a curb to curb operator would leave a patient stranded well short of the front door. Our drivers pull all the way up the driveway when it is passable, and when it is not, they walk the distance to meet the passenger at the door.
Powered and Heavy Wheelchair Transport
Powered wheelchairs, tilt in space chairs, bariatric chairs, and motorized scooters up to 600 pounds with four point securement. Most area operators decline these chairs. We do not.
Stretcher and Stair Chair Service
Professional Stryker stretchers with a trained attendant for patients who cannot sit upright, plus stair chair assistance for walk ups, split entries, and narrow staircases.
Ambulatory and Senior Transportation
Accessible vehicles with full driver assistance at both ends for passengers who walk with a cane, walker, or crutches. Door through door, on your schedule.
Recurring Dialysis, Infusion, and Therapy Schedules
Standing schedules for dialysis, chemotherapy, radiation, infusion, wound care, and physical therapy. Same driver, same vehicle, same pickup window, every session.
Hospital Discharge and Inter Facility Transfers
Same day discharge pickups when the hospital calls in the afternoon. Contracted facility service with priority scheduling for skilled nursing homes and rehabilitation centers.
Wheelchair Service
Do You Offer Wheelchair Transportation in Sherborn?
Our ADA compliant vans carry Sherborn wheelchair users in their own chairs, secured with four point tie downs, from the pickup door to the appointment door. Rural Sherborn properties often have gravel driveways and uneven stone walkways, so an unnecessary transfer out of the chair is a real fall risk. Tell us the chair type, the chair weight, and the driveway surface, and we assign the right vehicle before the day of the ride.
Heavy chairs are not a barrier here. FedNor carries powered wheelchairs, tilt in space chairs, bariatric chairs, and motorized scooters up to 600 pounds with four point securement. A Sherborn rider turned away elsewhere over chair weight gets a straight answer: confirm the weight on the call, and the right van is dispatched.
Stretcher Service
Can Patients Travel on a Stretcher in Sherborn?
Sherborn patients who cannot sit upright travel on professional Stryker stretchers with a trained attendant on board. Families arranging a discharge from Newton Wellesley Hospital or MetroWest Medical Center back to a Sherborn home use this service for scheduled discharges and long distance supine moves.
The attendant confirms positioning with facility staff, locks the stretcher into the vehicle system, monitors comfort for the full trip, and completes a staff to staff handoff at the receiving desk. Where a long Sherborn driveway or exterior steps stand between the door and the vehicle, our stair chair service closes that gap safely first.
The Basics
What Is Non Emergency Medical Transportation in Sherborn?
Non emergency medical transportation, shortened to NEMT, covers prescheduled ground transport for patients whose condition rules out driving themselves, but who need no ambulance. Sherborn riders use it for dialysis, chemotherapy, infusion, wound care, post surgical follow ups, and hospital discharges, most often to Natick, Framingham, or Newton.
How Does NEMT Differ from Other Sherborn Transport Options?
- Rideshare apps carry no lift, no tie downs, and rarely accept a fare that starts a mile down an unmarked private road.
- Public transit does not reach Sherborn, leaving no bus or rail option for a medical trip.
- The Sherborn Council on Aging van covers limited hours and does not carry wheelchairs or stretchers.
- Ambulance transport answers emergencies and bills at emergency rates.
How Does FedNor Fill the Gap?
FedNor fills the gap between those options: scheduled, accessible, door through door, priced upfront, and available across town lines. Private pay riders book directly with a transportation company and skip the middleman.
NEMT is not an ambulance service. NEMT vehicles carry no paramedics and no clinical monitoring equipment. A life threatening condition in Sherborn requires a 911 call to the Sherborn Fire Department, not a van booking. FedNor Transportation is a private pay provider: rides are booked directly with us or billed to a partner facility, with rates quoted upfront and payment due upfront.
Eligibility
Who Books and Pays for Sherborn Rides?
FedNor is a private pay provider, which means Sherborn families, facilities, and case managers book directly and pay by the trip with no middleman in between. Four rider groups fit this model:
- 1Patients whose health insurance carries no transportation benefit.
- 2Families arranging hospital discharge rides, surgical drop offs, or post procedure pickups on short notice.
- 3Facilities such as skilled nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and law firms that bill trips to an account.
- 4Riders who want door through door service, a specific pickup time, or a same day booking that rideshare apps and transit cannot deliver.
Because FedNor is private pay, you deal directly with us. You call, we quote the exact fare, and the vehicle is dispatched. Payment is due upfront, and one companion rides free.
