Transportation Services

We provide transportation to West U Senior Residents in need to senior activities, doctors, dentists, beauty shops, drug stores, banks and post offices by appointment only, schedule permitting.

Participants must have the cognitive and physical ability to get to and from the vehicle and their appointment site on their own.  If not, a caretaker must be present.  Grocery shopping is provided on a designated day. 

Call the office for more information. When calling for transportation, please have the name, address and phone number of your appointment available. Reservations must be made at least one day in advance, and there are no standing appointments. Please confirm all appointments weekly. Call the office at 713.662.5895 to schedule a ride.
