ADA Wheelchair Van Transportation in Massachusetts
Comfort Life Transportation provides fully ADA-compliant wheelchair van transportation throughout Massachusetts.

Why Massachusetts Families Choose Comfort Life
There are other NEMT providers in Massachusetts. Here is what consistently sets us apart — in our patients' own words and our own standards.
We Never Substitute Vehicles
Some providers show up with a standard car when a wheelchair van was booked. We never do this. Every wheelchair trip uses an ADA-compliant van — period. No exceptions, no last-minute substitutions.
Small Team, Personal Care
We are not a large dispatch operation. When you call, you talk to us directly. Your driver knows who you are and where you are going. If something comes up, we handle it personally — not through a call center.
We Actually Wait
Rideshare and some NEMT providers drop you off and leave. Our drivers wait — for dialysis, for chemo, for a two-hour specialist visit. You will never be stranded at a hospital trying to find a ride home.

Non-Emergency Medical
Transportation Massachusetts
Safe, reliable, and compassionate non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) across all of Massachusetts. Wheelchair accessible vans, ambulatory transport, senior rides, and long-distance medical transport — all with door-to-door assistance and background-checked drivers.
What Is Non-Emergency Medical Transportation?
Non-emergency medical transportation — commonly called NEMT — refers to transportation for patients who need to travel to and from medical appointments, treatments, or care facilities, but do not require an ambulance or emergency vehicle. If you or a loved one needs a safe, reliable ride to a doctor's appointment, dialysis, chemotherapy, physical therapy, or any other medical visit, NEMT is the right solution.
Unlike rideshare services, professional NEMT providers like Comfort Life Transportation are equipped with ADA-compliant wheelchair vans, trained drivers, and the ability to provide hands-on assistance — not just a drop-off at the curb. We stay with you, help you in and out of the vehicle, and wait at your appointment if needed.
Not an Ambulance
NEMT is for non-emergency travel — scheduled medical appointments, not 911 situations. Much more affordable and often more appropriate.
Door-to-Door
Your driver comes to your front door, assists you to the vehicle, stays at your appointment, and brings you back home safely.
All Mobility Levels
From fully ambulatory patients to power wheelchair users — we have the right vehicle and training for every passenger.

Frequently Asked Questions About NEMT
An ambulance is for life-threatening emergencies and is staffed by paramedics or EMTs who provide medical care during transport. Non-emergency medical transportation is for scheduled, non-life-threatening trips — like getting to a dialysis appointment or a specialist visit. NEMT is significantly more affordable than an ambulance and is appropriate for the vast majority of medical travel needs.
NEMT costs in Massachusetts typically range from $35 for a short ambulatory trip to $150+ for a long-distance wheelchair transport. Pricing depends on the distance from pickup to destination, whether you need a wheelchair van or a standard vehicle, and whether the trip is one-way or round trip. Comfort Life Transportation provides free, no-obligation quotes — call (857) 777-9000 or submit our online form for your exact price.
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft can work for some ambulatory patients with simple transportation needs. However, they do not have wheelchair-accessible vehicles in most areas, drivers are not trained in passenger assistance, they will not wait at your appointment, and they cannot guarantee availability for scheduled medical trips. For patients with mobility challenges, medical equipment, or complex needs, a professional NEMT provider is the safer and more reliable choice.
We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance so we can confirm availability, plan your route, and ensure the right vehicle is ready. For recurring trips like dialysis or chemotherapy, we recommend setting up a standing schedule. For same-day urgent needs, call us directly at (857) 777-9000 — we will always try to accommodate you.
Yes — we specialize in recurring medical transportation. Many of our patients need rides two or three times per week for dialysis, or on a weekly basis for chemotherapy or physical therapy. We can set up a standing schedule so you never have to re-book each time. Contact us to discuss your recurring transportation needs.
