Minibuses for care homes

29 July 2021

Minibuses are an essential asset for many care homes because they allow elderly residents the freedom to travel using accessible and inclusive transport.  

Whilst older people are often offered access to free public transportation, this isn’t always a viable option. Those who live in rural locations with no local bus service, or those with mobility issues may not be able to easily access or utilise these services and therefore a minibus can become something of a lifeline.  

Benefits of a minibus for care homes 

Getting out and about is a necessity for us all, both in terms of mental and physical health. That is why we at Marshall Minibus are thrilled to be able to assist care homes in providing their residents with transport which can be adapted for wheelchair access and other special requirements. 

Care home residents might require minibus transport for: 

·       Attending medical appointments. 

·       Venturing out on assisted shopping trips. 

·       Visiting loved ones. 

·       Attending events, activities and fitness classes.  

Care home minibus leasing and purchasing options 

Typically, our customers lease minibuses under a contract hire arrangement with an all-inclusive service package. We have minibuses available ranging from 8-17 seat configurations, which can be fitted with equipment to help with wheelchair accessibility.  

Alternatively, we can offer a contract purchase agreement.
