Crown Care NEMT provides private pay, door-to-door medical transportation throughout Sarasota and Sarasota County. With one of the densest senior populations in the entire United States, Sarasota is a community where reliable medical transportation is not a convenience — it is a daily necessity. Sarasota Memorial Hospital is the region's flagship medical center, and residents across neighborhoods from Siesta Key to Lakewood Ranch depend on regular access to cardiology, oncology, orthopedic, and dialysis care. Crown Care ensures every patient gets to every appointment safely, comfortably, and on time.
Luxury ambulatory transport for appointments at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Doctors Hospital, and outpatient clinics across Sarasota County.
ADA-compliant vans with hydraulic lifts, ramps, and trained drivers for wheelchair users throughout Sarasota and the barrier islands.
Non-emergency stretcher transport for hospital discharges, skilled nursing transfers, and bedridden patients at Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
Interstate and cross-state medical transport from Sarasota to Moffitt Cancer Center, Cleveland Clinic Florida, and specialty centers anywhere.
Sarasota County has a median age well above the national average, and nearly one in three residents is over 65. Communities like Palmer Ranch, Lakewood Ranch, The Meadows, Gulf Gate Estates, and the barrier islands of Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key are home to retirees who relocated to Florida's Gulf Coast for the quality of life — and who now need regular access to medical care. Sarasota Memorial Hospital on South Tamiami Trail is the county's largest and most comprehensive hospital, with nationally recognized programs in cardiac care, oncology, and orthopedics. Doctors Hospital of Sarasota on Cattlemen Road handles overflow and specialty procedures.
But for many seniors in Sarasota, the challenge is not finding good medical care — it is getting there. Patients who can no longer drive safely, those recovering from hip or knee replacements, dialysis patients who need transport three times a week, and cancer patients undergoing radiation at the Sarasota Memorial Cancer Institute all need transportation they can rely on completely. Standard ride-hailing services do not accommodate wheelchairs or stretchers, and the wait times for Medicaid NEMT in Florida can be unpredictable.
Crown Care provides a premium alternative with private pay medical transportation designed around the patient's needs. You submit your ride details online in under 3 minutes or call us directly, and a coordinator who knows the Sarasota area calls you back with a personalized quote. We match the right vehicle to the patient — sedan for ambulatory visits, wheelchair van for patients who need a lift or ramp, stretcher vehicle for facility transfers. Every ride includes door-to-door assistance, live GPS tracking for the family, and a driver who arrives early.
For patients who need specialty care beyond what Sarasota offers, we provide long-distance transport to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa (about an hour north), to Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston (about three hours south), and to any other facility in the US. We also coordinate recurring local rides for dialysis, physical therapy, and chemotherapy so the same reliable driver handles every appointment.
Our drivers arrive 10-15 minutes early. If I-75 traffic or seasonal congestion causes any delay, our Sarasota dispatch contacts you proactively — you never have to wonder where your ride is.
Every driver serving Sarasota is background-checked, fully insured, and trained in passenger assistance and HIPAA-aware communication.
Your medical information stays between you, your coordinator, and your driver. No broker networks, no data sharing, no third-party access.
