MEDICAL CAR AND
SENIOR BUS SERVICES
Curbside service available
to seniors and disabled Stafford residents
Bus Transportation â€" *NOTE* - all riders are still required to wear a mask while
riding public transportation, regardless of vaccination status. Currently we are offering at least one
out-of-town shopping trip per month to a location that offers access to
groceries and other items. Examples of
trips we might run include the Aldis/Ocean State Job lot plaza in Enfield or an
area Walmart. Our driver/attendant is
able to assist with putting groceries on and off the bus as well.
Medical
transportationâ€" car is available for appointments on Monday through Thursday. Our driver/attendant will pick up the client
at their private residence and transport them to their medical
appointments. After the appointment, the
client is returned home. If the client
requires a prescription, we can sometimes fit in a pharmacy stop before
returning the client home. Check with
the driver; if her schedule permits, it can be done. The driver travels to doctors, hospitals, and
clinics in Somers, Enfield, Stafford, Willington, Tolland, Vernon, Willimantic,
Rockville, Manchester, and South Windsor. We recommend that as soon as the
client is aware of their appointment, they call the office at (860) 684-7752 to
book their ride. If the time is already
booked with another client, we can suggest another time that may be
available. *There
is currently a barrier between the front and back seat of the vehicle and we
only take more than one rider if they are from the same household, so riders
are not required to wear a mask.
Many
of our clients enjoy these services because they are no longer able to
drive. Others enjoy maintaining their
independence by not having to rely on children or relatives for rides to the
store. Often times, clients are not
comfortable driving in winter weather, but need to get their weekly errands
done. This is a free service for Stafford seniors and disabled persons.
Interested
parties should call 684-7752 for additional information and to schedule your
ride.
