Our Services
What Medical Transportation Services Does FedNor Offer in Wellesley?
FedNor operates six medical transportation service lines for Wellesley patients, and every one of them runs door through door rather than curb to curb. Wellesley's large colonial and Tudor homes on Cliff Road and around Wellesley Farms often have long front walks, circular driveways, and front steps that a curb to curb operator simply leaves the patient to manage alone. Our drivers meet the passenger at the actual entrance, manage the walk or steps, and escort them to the check in desk at the other end.
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 Wellesley?
Our ADA compliant vans carry Wellesley wheelchair users in their own chairs, secured by four point tie downs, from the pickup door to the appointment door. Nobody transfers out of their chair. Tell us the chair type, the chair weight, and whether stairs sit between the door and the street, and we assign the right vehicle before the morning of the ride.
Heavy chairs do not disqualify a rider. FedNor carries powered wheelchairs, tilt in space chairs, bariatric chairs, and motorized scooters up to 600 pounds with four point securement, useful for Wellesley's larger single family homes with long driveways.
Stretcher Service
Can Patients Travel on a Stretcher in Wellesley?
Wellesley patients who cannot sit upright travel on professional Stryker stretchers with a trained attendant on board. Discharge planners at Newton Wellesley Hospital on Washington Street use this service for scheduled discharges, inter facility transfers to rehabilitation centers, 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 Wellesley Hills home has a long interior staircase, our stair chair service moves the patient down first.
The Basics
What Is Non Emergency Medical Transportation in Wellesley?
Non emergency medical transportation, shortened to NEMT, covers prescheduled ground transport for patients whose condition rules out a car, a taxi, a rideshare, or the commuter rail, but who need no ambulance. Wellesley riders reach for it for dialysis, chemotherapy, radiation, wound care, post surgical follow ups, and hospital discharges.
How Does NEMT Differ from Other Wellesley Transport Options?
- Rideshare apps carry no lift, no tie downs, no wait, and no escort past the curb.
- The Framingham/Worcester Line commuter rail stops in Wellesley end at a platform rather than a front door.
- The Wellesley Council on Aging van is limited in hours and geography, and it does not carry 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 Wellesley requires a 911 call to the Wellesley 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 Wellesley Rides?
FedNor is a private pay provider, which means Wellesley 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.
