New Shuttle Van

Our residents are always on the go, and to better accommodate their active lifestyles, our Transportation Department has added two new vehicles to their fleet!

New Shuttle Van Boarding

A custom-built shuttle includes a chair lift, two spots to secure wheelchairs, overhead storage racks, handle-grabs on seatbacks, and wide stairway entry and aisle. With seating for 14, this new shuttle joins two others, for a total transportation capacity of 42. Our Concierge Shuttle service transports our residents not only on-campus to activities and events, but also to supermarkets, performance venues, museums, and daytrips to various points of interest.

New Ford Flex

A new Ford Flex was also added to our personal transportation service. With seating for up to 6 passengers, the Flex is specifically designed with low ground clearance, which makes it easy to get in and out of. If our residents need a ride to an appointment or the airport, they know it’s just a phone call away!

All of our shuttles will be busy driving around our campus at our Annual Open House THIS SUNDAY, the 9th, from 2 – 4:30 PM.
