Transportation

Coordinating Transportation

The Vilas Home offers our residents transportation to doctor’s appointments along with scheduled shopping and activity outings. Weekly outings are scheduled as part of the activities calendar and are posted on the transportation boards located in the community’s lobby and in the dining room.

Weekly Scheduled Transportation

The Vilas Home will provide, at no additional charge, regularly scheduled transportation to various shopping centers, grocery stores, post office, and banks. The monthly activities calendar details the specific days for errand trips/locations. Scheduled outings are also posted in the lobby and in the dining room.

Medical Transportation

Residents requiring transportation to medical appointments will be billed a transportation fee based upon the distance traveled and length of the appointment.

Scheduling Appointments

Residents and families are asked to not schedule, reschedule or cancel appointments for which we are providing transportation. If a resident or family schedules their own appointment and requests transportation, we will accommodate it as best we can with our current transportation obligations. If we are unable to provide transportation, we will request that the appointment be rescheduled for a different and agreed upon day/time.
