Wheelchair Van Transport in Ewing, NJ

Wheelchair-Accessible Transportation in Ewing

Ewing Township covers a little over fifteen square miles between Trenton, Lawrence and Hopewell, and not one of those miles contains a hospital. Medicare's hospital directory lists no acute-care facility at an Ewing address, so all 37,264 residents travel out for every admission, every pre-op visit, every discharge. For much of the township that means Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell at One Capital Way, north on Scotch Road past the airport turn to Exit 73 on I-295 — the hospital sits on the east side of Scotch Road with a Pennington mailing address in Hopewell Township, and it is not an Ewing facility however close it feels from the north end of town. Capital Health Regional Medical Center is at 750 Brunswick Avenue in Trenton, and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton at One Hamilton Health Place in Hamilton. All three run emergency departments, and Delta's wheelchair vans run all three.

Recurring treatment is most of what a wheelchair van actually does here. Medicare lists exactly one dialysis center at an Ewing address: FMC Ewing, the Fresenius Medical Care unit at 1962 North Olden Avenue, eighteen in-center stations, certified since August 1995. Standard in-center hemodialysis is three sessions a week, every week of the year, and getting there is as much of the problem as the chair itself. Medicare's facility data also records no late shift at the Ewing unit — so an Ewing resident who needs an evening treatment is looking at the 28-station dialysis unit inside Capital Health Regional on Brunswick Avenue in Trenton, or at FKC Harney's Corner on Princeton Avenue just over the township line in Lawrenceville. Delta runs all three, sets up standing weekly schedules so the same van comes on the same days, and answers the phone around the clock.

Two long-term care campuses sit inside Ewing, and both hang off Parkway Avenue. Greenwood House keeps a five-acre campus at 53 Walter Street, a couple of turns off Parkway — skilled nursing, therapy and rehab, hospice, home care and the Abrams Residence assisted living building. Preferred Care at Mercer is a 100-bed skilled nursing facility at 1201 Parkway Avenue itself. Between them they generate steady wheelchair traffic: a resident going out to a specialist and back, a rehab discharge going home, a family member brought in for a care meeting. And for Ewing households whose specialists sit across the Delaware, the crossing is the Scudder Falls Toll Bridge — renumbered from I-95 to I-295 in 2018 — whose New Jersey end lands in the Scudders Falls section of Ewing beside the Route 29 interchange, and whose far end is Lower Makefield Township in Bucks County. Our vans run it.

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