Wheelchair Van Transport in Sayreville, NJ

Wheelchair-Accessible Transportation in Sayreville

Sayreville is a borough of about 45,000 people on the south bank of the Raritan River, and it has no hospital of its own. That single fact shapes every medical ride here. Care means leaving town, and leaving town usually means a river crossing: the Victory Bridge carries Route 35 north into Perth Amboy, the Edison Bridge carries US 9 north into Woodbridge, and the Driscoll Bridge carries the Garden State Parkway over the same water. Our wheelchair van is built for exactly that kind of trip — the rider boards by ramp, stays in their own chair, and is secured with a four-point tie-down plus a lap-and-shoulder belt before the van moves. No transfer, no lifting at the curb.

The destinations are consistent, and they sort themselves by which bridge you take. North over the Victory Bridge is Hackensack Meridian's Raritan Bay Medical Center, 530 New Brunswick Avenue in Perth Amboy, emergency department open around the clock. Old Bridge Medical Center, 1 Hospital Plaza, is the same network's other campus and the one full hospital a Sayreville rider can reach without crossing the Raritan at all — it also keeps a 24-hour emergency department. New Brunswick handles the harder cases: Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at 1 Robert Wood Johnson Place is a Level I trauma center and the flagship hospital of Rutgers Cancer Institute, New Jersey's only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, with Saint Peter's University Hospital at 254 Easton Avenue nearby. For rehab, Sayreville riders usually end up at Hackensack Meridian JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute on James Street in Edison.

Dialysis is the one thing Sayreville does have in town: DaVita Sayreville Dialysis runs in-center hemodialysis at 2909 Washington Road in Parlin, the only Medicare-certified dialysis center inside the borough. Getting there is the problem. The borough's own Around the Town Bus, run by the Office on Aging, goes out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday only — no Thursday runs — leaves around 8:15 and 10:15 a.m., must be booked by 3 p.m. the day before, and never leaves Sayreville. Middlesex County's MCAT covers medical trips inside the county and about five miles past the line, by reservation. Neither one covers a Thursday dialysis chair, a specialist in Newark, or a discharge at 9 p.m. Delta is based in Totowa, not Sayreville, and runs 24/7 with no county boundary.

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