Wheelchair Van Transport in Englewood, NJ

Wheelchair-Accessible Transportation in Englewood

Englewood is unusual for a city of about 29,000: it is one of only a handful of Bergen County's 70 municipalities with a full acute-care hospital inside its own borders. Englewood Hospital, part of Englewood Health, sits at 350 Engle Street with an emergency department, a stroke center, an infusion center and the Lefcourt Family Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center on campus. For a wheelchair rider that changes the math — many Englewood trips are short runs across town rather than highway drives. It also changes the drop-off. The campus has a main entrance and a north entrance, both with valet, plus self-parking in the Glenwood Garage and the Visitor Garage, and all of it is free for patients and visitors. Our drivers ask which entrance your department uses when you book, because the north entrance is the one for cardiac services and endoscopy and the walk from the wrong door is long.

Englewood's steadiest wheelchair-van work is dialysis, and both in-city units sit on the same street: Fresenius Kidney Care Englewood Dialysis at 75 West Forest Avenue and DaVita South Dean Dialysis at 100 West Forest Avenue. The Fresenius unit opens at 5 a.m. Monday through Saturday and is closed Sunday, so first-shift pickups happen in the dark and the return leg lands mid-morning. Skilled nursing sits elsewhere in the city — Complete Care at Inglemoor at 333 Grand Avenue, and The Actors Fund Home at 155-175 West Hudson Avenue, whose short-stay rehab unit is open to the general public and not only to entertainment-industry residents. Most of these runs never touch a highway; they stay on the residential grid between Engle Street, Grand Avenue and West Forest Avenue.

A wheelchair van is not an ambulance and not a stretcher vehicle. It loads by ramp or hydraulic lift, the rider stays seated in their own manual or power chair, and the chair is locked down with a four-point tie-down plus a separate lap-and-shoulder belt — nobody is lifted or asked to stand. The Englewood trips that do leave the city almost always run west, away from the ridge: Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, which borders Englewood, and beyond it Hackensack University Medical Center, across the Hackensack River. Eastward the land climbs the Palisades into Englewood Cliffs, and Fort Lee — Englewood's other neighbor — is where the George Washington Bridge approaches back up. We schedule around that traffic rather than through it. Delta is licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health for both wheelchair van and BLS ambulance and is based in Totowa.

Every trip is quoted individually — distance, whether you need a return leg, stairs at either address, and the time of day all matter.

If a Englewood patient cannot sit upright for the journey, a wheelchair van is the wrong vehicle and we will arrange stretcher transport instead.
