Is your senior living community thinking about purchasing a bus? We believe it’s one of the best things you can do for your community and your residents. Here are a few reasons why;

1.Handicap Accessible:

It is important that your bus is able to accommodate everyone, that being said a wheelchair accessible bus is a good idea for a senior living community.  At The Bus Center we offer both Braun and Ricon wheelchair lifts and Sure-Lok and Q’Straint tie-down kits.  It is important to purchase your bus with these features, because they are extremely difficult and expensive to add after the bus has been built.

2.Enrich Residents Quality of Life:

Moving away from home and into a new environment can be a stressful experience for anyone.  A facility bus makes it possible for seniors to visit with loved ones and attend local activities like; movies, exercise classes, musical events, volunteer opportunities, etc.  The whole point of a senior living community is to keep elders active as they age, and we believe having a safe and reliable source of transportation is a big part of that.

3.Social

Most senior living communities are pretty big, which doesn’t always give residents the chance to meet and interact.  But,a trip on the bus is a great time for them to chat with friends or even make new ones.

We have several great senior living buses to choose from, but we do highly recommend the Starcraft Allstar SC-2. This bus comfortably seats 12(14) Passengers + Driver with 2 Wheelchair Positions. Give us call today for more information on this bus! 888-994-5143
