This must be <br /> completed prior to a family moving into the facility and these are done by appointment. These <br /> families are usually able to transport themselves or secure transportation through a family <br /> member, friend, etc. On the rare occasion that they are unable to reach us on their own, we will <br /> provide transportation via the Center Van. <br /> Once a family has moved into the Center, if they do not have their own vehicle, we encourage <br /> them to be resourceful in attempts to find transportation through the community bus, or <br /> family/friends. If they are unsuccessful, we do provide transportation to their case related <br /> appointments (ex. Medical, employment, school, court, off premises educational workshops and <br /> Samaritan Center planned Social Activities). We do not provide transport for personal outings. <br /> 6 <br />
