Transportation

• The Niles Senior Center provides transportation for local seniors to and from doctors appointments.

• Persons must be 60+ or older.

• 1st come, 1st serve basis due to availability of vehicles and volunteer drivers. 

• Appointments for Niles residents only. Donations are not required, but very appreciated to help maintain vehicles.

• All appointments must be scheduled between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

• Rides must be scheduled at least 3 business days prior to your appointment, but no more that two weeks before that appointment. 

• All persons using our service must be able bodied to get from the pick-up site to the vehicle. Our drivers will assist you, but CAN'T transfer you. If you require more assistance, you will be asked to have a care giver with you. We are not medically trained. 

• Our volunteer drivers can not sign discharge instructions and are not responsible for you after a sedation appointment. Their job is to get you safely to and from your appointment. 

• In reference to our wheelchair van (MV1)  If a person has a motorized wheelchair, the person must be able to operate it on their own or have a helper who can assist them. Our W/C van is designed to safely lock in a manual W/C or a small base of a motorized W/C. The ramp is not designed to be loaded or unloaded in grass or gravel or accomodate oversized bariatric W/C. The volunteer driver has the right to refuse service at any time if it determined unsafe for the client, vehicle or driver.
