Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Plainville, MA
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Plainville is a Norfolk County town of roughly 9,000 people with no hospital inside its 11 square miles, which means nearly every medical visit involves a trip out of town. Sturdy Memorial Hospital and Sturdy Health's clinics in Attleboro handle most inpatient, ER, and surgical care, dialysis patients travel to Fresenius Kidney Care Attleboro or Innovative Renal Care on South Main Street, and more complex cases head up I-495 to the Boston teaching hospitals. Combined with no fixed-route bus service and a growing share of seniors who've stepped away from driving, reliable door-to-door transportation often becomes the only practical way to keep up with appointments.
Our drivers start at your front step, offer a hand down the walkway, and help you settle into the vehicle before we roll. When we reach the clinic, we walk with you to the check-in counter, and a return ride is already on the board. It's the kind of care we'd want for our own parent, and every Plainville rider is handled the same way.

Testimonials
I had a bad reaction to anesthesia and was feeling pretty rough when they picked me up. The driver was patient and drove slowly so every bump wouldn't hurt. Really thoughtful service.
– George F.
Six months of regular rides for my father and they've been flawless. The office staff knows us by name now and the drivers always treat him well. We're loyal customers for life.
– Philip T.
I was terrified of the ramp the first time. The driver sensed it and talked me through every movement. He was calm, patient, and reassuring. By the second ride I felt completely comfortable.
– Gladys N.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
Phone our dispatcher at 877-369-5457, or tap the "Book a Ride" button near the top of this page. A day or two of lead time smooths out routine bookings, though same-day pickups around Plainville can often be arranged depending on which vehicles are already working the US-1 corridor.
Do you accept Medicaid, Medicare or other health insurance?
We take credit card or cash payment if you book directly with us. For payment using health plans or 3rd party-payers, you will need to contact these parties directly to secure authorization of the trips and many of them may require you to book directly through them.
How far in advance should I schedule my ride?
Because Plainville has no hospital or dialysis center of its own and most care sits in Attleboro, Foxborough, or the Boston area, we recommend booking 24 to 48 hours ahead. Early-morning dialysis runs and trips on Gillette Stadium event days benefit from 48 to 72 hours of notice so we can route around I-495 congestion.
Do your vehicles accommodate wheelchairs?
Yes — flag it when you book and we'll send the right vehicle out to your Plainville address from the start. Our wheelchair-accessible vans are equipped with ramps and secure tie-down systems, and they handle manual chairs, power chairs, and scooters with no extra prep on your end.
Can a family member ride along?
Yes — a spouse, adult child, or caregiver is welcome to ride along in most bookings at no extra charge. Just mention the second passenger when you call so the driver reserves a seat and plans around the Plainville pickup.

What is NEMT?
NEMT stands for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation. Simply put, it's a ride option for people who need a safe, predictable way to reach their medical appointments but whose situation doesn't call for an ambulance.
Riders who depend on NEMT usually fall into familiar categories — older adults no longer comfortable behind the wheel, people living with a long-term disability, or anyone whose condition makes driving unsafe. The vehicle gets paired to the rider: a wheelchair-accessible van, a stretcher-equipped unit, or a standard car with a driver trained to walk alongside.
Most NEMT trips fall into a weekly pattern — dialysis runs, chemo infusions, rehab sessions, regular specialist visits. The rest are one-time events, like the ride home after outpatient surgery or a next-day hospital release. The mission stays simple throughout: keep riders connected to the treatment that keeps them healthy.
Powered by Modern Technology
Each Plainville trip is coordinated through Duet (https://www.duetinc.com/), a leading NEMT software platform that handles live vehicle tracking, steady scheduling, and an open channel of communication between rider, family, and driver.
More Than a Ride
Booking with us means putting a parent, spouse, or close friend into our care for the length of a trip, and that responsibility shapes every decision on the road. From the first phone call through the moment your loved one is back inside their Plainville home, neither of you should carry any worry about the ride.
